Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
To determine the prevalence of human parvovirus B19 infection in general resident population, especially women, in Wuhan. The total 1700 blood samples were collected from two different hospitals which were divided into two groups for the experiment. DNAs extracted from blood serum were subjected to Nested-PCR analysis by using specific primers designed from the most conserved NS gene of parvovirus B19. The positive detective rates were 8.33% in group I (women) and 4.50% in group II (common adults, men and women). Our data demonstrated that prevalence of human parvovirus B19 infection in childbearing age women was much higher than that in ordinary population and diagnosis of B19 virus in pregnant women should be adopted to prevent newborns from infection. In addition, Nested-PCR is a sensitive, specific and convenient method that can be easily used for detection of human parvovirus B19 in blood samples.
