Abstract
Human parvovirus B19 was identified and characterized in sample collected from a patient who was infected in Japan, and the symptoms as fever and rash appeared after arriving to Brazil. The occurrence of virus infection was confirmed by both assays: Elisa parvovirus B19-specific IgM antibody detection and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A fragment of NS1-VP1 region was directly submitted to nucleotide sequencing. Partial phylogenetic analysis of B19 sequences, including several sequences available in GenBank, indicated that the isolated HPV B19 corresponded to genotype 1.References
