The seroprevalence in pregnancy ranges from 20% to 82% in Africa, but there are no data for Benin. We therefore retrospectively assessed the seroprevalence of B19V in pregnant women attending the Saint Jean de Dieu Hospital in Tangui\u00e9ta, a rural district of Atacora, in northern Benin.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We searched for anti\u2010B19V immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in 227 sequential sera from as many women (mean age 26.3\u2009years, range: 16\u201341) of whom 30 were in the first trimester, 66 in the second and 131 in the third. Samples that tested positive for IgM were analysed with an immunoblot test and the viral genome (DNA\u2010B19V) was searched for using a polymerase chain reaction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 227 women, 153 (67.4%) were positive for IgG anti\u2010B19V, 7 (3.1%) for IgM and 73 (32.2%) were non\u2010immune. Six IgM\u2010positive women were also IgG positive. The difference in IgG seroprevalence between trimesters or ages was not statistically significant. Of the seven IgM\u2010positive samples, three were confirmed positive by immunoblot (of which two were DNA\u2010B19V positive), three were indeterminate (DNA\u2010B19V negative) and one was negative (DNA\u2010B19V negative). Of the three women with confirmed positive IgM, two were in the third trimester and one in the second trimester of pregnancy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The seroprevalence of anti\u2010B19V IgG among pregnant women in Benin is high and in line with those reported in some African countries. IgM seroprevalence is also similar to that described in some African countries in non\u2010epidemic periods. The low viral load observed depicts non\u2010acute infections, but it is difficult to establish the precise time of the infection, especially for women tested in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, when the observed viremia could be a sign of an acute infection that occurred in the previous trimester. Consequently, clinical follow\u2010up and further investigations to highlight possible foetal consequences are indicated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/tmi.13855","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,17]],"date-time":"2023-01-17T11:10:22Z","timestamp":1673953822000},"page":"226-231","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Prevalence of parvovirus <scp>B19<\/scp> antibodies in pregnant women in northern Benin"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Massimo","family":"De Paschale","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Microbiology Unit ASST Ovest Milanese, Hospital of Legnano  Milan Italy"},{"name":"Laboratory Chimical Chemistry ASST Ovest Milanese, Hospital of Legnano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cristina","family":"Ceriani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microbiology Unit ASST Ovest Milanese, Hospital of Legnano  Milan Italy"},{"name":"Division of Microbiology and Immunology, Emory National Primate Research Center Emory University  Atlanta Georgia USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Teresa","family":"Cerulli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microbiology Unit ASST Ovest Milanese, Hospital of Legnano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Debora","family":"Cagnin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microbiology Unit ASST Ovest Milanese, Hospital of Legnano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Serena","family":"Cavallari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gruppo Solidariet\u00e0 Africa  Seregno Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dieudonn\u00e9","family":"Zaongo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"H\u00f4pital Saint Jean de Dieu  Tangui\u00e9ta Benin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kouma","family":"Diombo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"H\u00f4pital Saint Jean de Dieu  Tangui\u00e9ta Benin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gianbattista","family":"Priuli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"H\u00f4pital Saint Jean de Dieu  Tangui\u00e9ta Benin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Vigan\u00f2","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gruppo Solidariet\u00e0 Africa  Seregno Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sergio","family":"Finazzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory Chimical Chemistry ASST Ovest Milanese, Hospital of Legnano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pierangelo","family":"Clerici","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microbiology Unit ASST Ovest Milanese, Hospital of Legnano  Milan Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(85)91146-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(85)91145-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1620\/tjem.209.277"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(00)04647-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(84)90086-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(84)90087-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(87)90370-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.62.6.585"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.78.9.1230"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268899003817"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268804002730"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268807007856"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2000.tb13306.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S0036-46651990000100007"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S095026880600731X"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","first-page":"218","article-title":"Seroprevalence of parvovirus B19 among pregnant women in Tripoli","volume":"3","author":"Elnifro E","year":"2009","journal-title":"Libya.
