Anemia <\/a>describes a condition affecting red blood cells where they can no longer carry enough oxygen throughout the body. This condition occurs due to low hemoglobin production that helps the red blood cells absorb oxygen. People with anemia find that they tire more quickly than others, and they also may have an iron deficiency that\u2019s causing the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPregnant women with anemia are at a high risk of miscarriage, and this risk increases should they contract parvovirus. The red blood cells are used up by the body quicker than the bone marrow can replace them in the body, leading to severe symptoms of anemia that may become life-threatening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The parvovirus can affect red blood cell production in the developing fetus, resulting in congenital disabilities or miscarriage. The risk is highest for the fetus in the first trimester of the pregnancy and requires immediate medical attention to ensure no further complications occur with the pregnancy.
