I would appreciate any info re: parvovirus. I was told that my lab test was positive but reflects an old exposure. I really can't find any infothat makes sense.

Hi, I have had the same diagnosis. Old exposure. From what my doc told me is that it is a flu like illness, and if I remember right, you can only get it once...I'd have to double check that tho. It is contracted through the air, just like a cold. Anyone can get it.
Talk to your doc about it. There really is not much on the net about it either. It really spooked me when they told me about the test results, but since I have had conversations with my doc, I am no longer spooked or worried about it.
Let me know if you find out anything more about it.
