Parvovirus 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,...
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. Anemia tended to be chronic (median duration of anemia at the time of diagnosis was 12 weeks) and was asso...
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 Frequency in Placenta of Fetal Loss Cases in Children Medical Center, Tehran, Iran
Background and Objectives: Infection with parvovirus may induce spontaneous abortion, non-immune hydrops fetalis, and intrauterine death in full term infants. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of parvovirus B19 in paraffin-embedded formalin fixed placental tissues in lost fetuses by PCR method and comparison with its frequency in healthy full term neonates as controls. Ma...
