Abstract
This was a case of an intrauterine parvoviral B 19 infection resulting in hydrops fetalis and enlarged placenta. Histologically, the virus was found to be in nucleated red cells of the fetus which was confirmed by electron microscopy. Careful placental examination at the gross and microscopic levels yielded the correct diagnosis.

Keywords : Hydrops fetalis, Placenta Infection, Parvovirus B 19
