The reasons
Human parvovirus B19 causes parvovirus infection. This is different from the parvovirus that occurs in dogs and cats, so you can’t get the infection from a pet, or vice versa.
Human parvovirus infections are more common in elementary school children during winter and spring epidemics, but anyone can get it at any time of the year. It is spread from person to person like a cold, often through breathing, coughing, and saliva, so it can be spread through close person-to-person and hand-to-hand contact.

Complications

- Parvovirus infection can cause serious complications in people with anemia. Anemia is a condition in which the cells that carry oxygen to all parts of your body (red blood cells) run out faster than your bone marrow can replace them. Parvovirus infection in people with anemia can stop red blood cell production and cause an attack of anemia. People with sickle cell anemia are particularly at risk.
