--- Quote ---The development of a parvovirus B19specific serologic test led to the first report of symptomatic infection in humans. This report, published in 1980, described two soldiers who had a brief febrile illness.2 Subsequently, the simultaneous reports of parvovirus B19 as the etiologic agent for transient aplastic crisis among patients with sickle cell disease and for erythema infectiosum among schoolchildren established the association between parvovirus infection and these two disorders.

Parvovirus B19 has been associated with persistent chronic anaemia and with transient aplastic crisis in children with sickle cell disease. A study involving a cohort of Jamaican patients with sickle cell disease showed that almost all cases of transient aplastic crisis were caused by Parvovirus B19 infection.(1,2)
Reports suggests that Parvovirus B19 can be transmitted through blood transfusions and plasma-derived products.(3,4) B19 is a non-enveloped virus and is resistant to high temperatures and most solvent-detergent treatments.
Despite this fact, routine screening of blood products for B19 DNA does not occur. However, many manufacturers carryout B19 PCR on plasma mini-pools to reduce high B19 viral load.

My suggestion: forget about it. I dont want to worry about this. I mean, the piece of information I give you. In Sharmin's situation I would be worried too. Anyway, today I went with my niece to the blood bank. She had a hgb of 8.4 ml/l so she was able to give blood!!! :cheer Last time she was not allowed to give because of a low hgb. Woman are allowed to give three times blood a year. I asked the nurse thousands of questions about it and she really like it to met a receiver and ofcourse to answer the questions. We were very lucky, because she has worked in the lab in the past. I never knew that you could work there actually without working ever in the lab. Btw all donors are voluntary workers in the Netherlands.
