- Absence of Symptoms
Many individuals who contract parvovirus will exhibit no outward symptoms. The vast majority of healthy adults are merely parvovirus carriers who transmit the infection to others without becoming ill themselves. In the event that symptoms do manifest, they are typically so benign that a person may be unaware of their illness. The vast majority of adults are immune to parvovirus because they were infected as children.
Many children will contract parvovirus at school and bring it home; however, because the majority of adults have already been exposed, they will not observe any new exposure symptoms. After a single infection, parvovirus causes a permanent immune response. Your body reserves the antidote for parvovirus in your bloodstream, making subsequent exposure to the virus simple to repel. The majority of individuals with a parvovirus infection may believe they have the flu or a cold. Rest, hydration, and over-the-counter medications are typically prescribed to treat parvovirus.
