To achieve this, 101 serum samples collected from health women identified via prenatal care services, birth control groups, communitarian work groups, and public night schools near Public Health Units were tested. The samples were stored in the section of Parasitology of the Tropical Pathology and Public Health Institute of the Federal University of Goiás (IPTSP/UFG) and were tested using ELISA (IgM and IgG) against parvovirus B19. The women were evaluated according to several aspects (economic, social, cultural, age, marital status, previous blood transfusion, pregnancy evolution, among others). The statistical tests used were variance analysis,  2 , and multivariance analysis (logistic regression). The results showed that the population analyzed was young, poor, presented low level of formal education, underwent regular prenatal care exams (in terms of number of attendances), and lived in brick houses with few rooms and many inhabitants, with a regular sanitation system. Prevalence of previous PB19 infection was the lowest found in the literature available (8.9%), average prevalence detected was 60%, and acute infection was 26.7%, similar to the one found in periods of epidemics. Furthermore, 25% of the acutely infected women were pregnant during the sample collection, which represented a risk of vertical transmission. / Objetivou-se avaliar a prevalência de anticorpos específicos das classes IgG contra o vírus PB19, identificadores de imunidade prévia, e IgM, característicos de infecção aguda, em mulheres em idade fértil no município de Goiânia. Para isso, foram testados 101 soros coletados em mulheres saudáveis atendidas nos serviços de atendimento pré-natal, controle de natalidade, grupos comunitários e escolas noturnas próximo às Unidades Públicas de Saúde. Os soros estavam armazenados no setor de Parasitologia do Instituto de Patologia Tropical e Saúde Pública da Universidade Federal de Goiás (IPTSP/UFG) e foram testados por ELISA (IgM e IgG) contra o parvovírus B19. As mulheres foram avaliadas sob vários aspectos (econômico, social, cultural, idade, estado conjugal, história de transfusão sanguínea, evolução da gravidez, entre outros). Os testes estatísticos usados foram análise de variância,  2 e análise multivariada (regressão logística). Os resultados mostraram tratar-se de população jovem, carente, com baixo nível de escolaridade, saneamento básico regular, pré- natal regular (em quantidade de consultas), morando em casas de tijolo, porém com poucos cômodos e muitos habitantes. A prevalência da infecção prévia pelo PB19 foi a mais baixa da literatura (8,9%), sendo a prevalência média descrita de 60% e a de infecção aguda de 26,7%, semelhante à encontrada nos períodos epidêmicos. Além do mais, 25% das mulheres agudamente infectadas estavam grávidas no período de coleta, o que representou risco de transmissão vertical.
