We report a neonate with angio‐oedema following fetal hydrops caused by maternal parvovirus B19 infection. Levels of complement components, including total haemolytic complement activity and C1 inhibitor concentration, were within normal ranges in cord blood. Neonatal angio‐oedema might be included in the clinical spectrum of parvovirus B19 infection in pregnancy.
