Treatments and drugs
By Mayo Clinic staffFor a noncomplicated parvovirus infection, sufficient parvovirus treatment generally consists of self-care steps at home. The rash itself doesn't need treatment.
If you have severe anemia you may need to be hospitalized and receive blood transfusions. If you have a weakened immune system you may receive antibodies (via immune globulin) to treat your infection.
If you're pregnant and develop parvovirus infection, your doctor may monitor possible effects on your baby. Treatments may include blood transfusions and medications if your baby has anemia, congestive heart failure or edema.
