Human parvovirus B19 has different genotypes, and researchers in Vietnam found that two genotypes (1 and 2) are present in patients with Hepatitis B virus. Genotype 1 was more common, with two subgroups identified (B19-1A and B19-1B) that are genetically different. This shows that B19 in Vietnamese patients can be classified into distinct groups based on genetic differences.
