Background and Objectives: Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) has singular tropism to erythropoietic cells and causes a wide range of complications in some fetuses of infected pregnant women, especially those with hemoglobinopathies. This study aimed to determine association of hemoglobin electrophoretic patterns and other risk factors of B19V in pregnant women attending University of Abuja Teaching Hospital (UATH), Abuja, Nigeria. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 200 pregnant women and screened for antiB19V Immunoglobulin-M (IgM), Immunoglobulin-G (IgG) and hemoglobin phenotypic pattern using enzyme immunosorbent assay and Minicap Flex Piercing Electrophoresis, respectively. Structured questionnaires were used to collate sociodemographic variables and associated
