## Abstract

A reemergence of parvovirus B19 infections in Spain in early 2024 prompted a 10-year review of the virus at a tertiary center. We identified 8 case-patients with neurologic manifestations who had parvovirus B19 in cerebrospinal fluid. Early recognition and management of parvovirus B19–associated neurologic conditions will help yield favorable outcomes.
