Seroprevalence of parvovirus B19 among pregnant women in Tripoli, Libya.
BACKGROUND Human parvovirus B19 has been implicated as a primary etiologic agent of erythema infectiosum (fifth disease) and aplastic crisis in patients with chronic haemolytic anemias. Human parvovirus B19 is known to be associated with adverse effects on fetuses such as hydrops fetalis, intrauterine fetal death, and chronic anaemia in immunocompromized individuals. The objective of this study...
متن کاملParvovirus B19 infection in pediatric transplant patients.
Evidence of recent parvovirus virus infection (as determined by the presence of a positive IgM antibody titer) without other identified causes of anemia was found in 5 of 26 pediatric solid-organ transplant recipients evaluated for moderate-to-severe anemia between June 1990 and July 1991.

B19 has been linked to renal disease in three settings: As a cause of acute glomerulopathy and as a cause of anemia in ESRD and kidney transplantation.

متن کاملChronic parvovirus B19 infection-associated pure red cell anaemia in a kidney transplant recipient.
Transplant recipients are known to be susceptible to primary viral infections or to reactivation of a persistent virus. Most of the clinically relevant infections are caused by the herpes-viridae group (CMV, EBV, VZV, HSV I and II). Human parvovirus B19 was first discovered 1975 in human packed blood [1] and subsequently shown to cause fifth disease or erythema infectiosum in children [2]. The ...
متن کاملParvovirus B19 Infection and Severe Anemia in Renal Transplant Recipients
Kidney transplant (KT) recipients can develop symptomatic Parvovirus (PV) B19 infections, frequently associated with persistent anemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and clinical significance of PV B19 infection in anemic and non-anemic KT patients. Overall, out of 64 patients monitored for the presence of PV B19 by real-time PCR, 2 (3.12%) had an active PV B19 infection,...
