We demonstrated recently that adeno-associated virus-2 (AAV-2) DNA was detected significantly more frequently in placental trophoblast cells from cases of severe pre-eclampsia than from normal term deliveries. Here, we sought to determine if maternal AAV-2 infection early in pregnancy preceded adverse outcomes resulting from placental dysfunction.
