A 26-year-old woman with erythema infectiosum is reported. She had small faint erythemas on her extremities and congestion of palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva of both eyes. Human parvovirus B19 (B19) DNA was detected in the specimen of the conjunctiva by the polymerase chain reaction. This result suggests that conjunctivitis in erythema infectiosum may cause the B19 infection.
