Aplastic anaemia associated with parvovirus B19 infection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Parvovirus B19 involvement was investigated in 30 children with severe aplastic anaemia. Active or recent parvovirus B19 infection, as shown by B19 DNA viraemia, positive B19 specific IgM antibodies, or both, was diagnosed in six patients. There were no other plausible causes. We suggest that parvovirus B19 infection might be associated with severe aplastic anaemia.

Human parvovirus B 19 and Epstein-Barr virus co-infection in a child with hereditary spherocytosis.
BACKGROUND In patients with chronic congenital haemolytic disorders, human Parvovirus B19 (HPV B19) is frequently involved in pure red-cell aplastic crises. Furthermore, it may inhibit three-lineage haematopoiesis in the bone marrow, causing severe pancytopenia. In such patients, Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection also seems to share the same mechanism as HPV B19 in inducing bone marrow aplasia...

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 induced transient aplastic crisis in an immunocompetent child.
Viral-induced aplastic crisis is an important cause of unexplained anaemia. It becomes significant in the context of an immunocompromised host. However, it is commonly overlooked in a well-nourished immunocompetent host. Parvovirus B19-induced transient crisis is one such example. Bone marrow study is a commonly performed preliminary investigation for an unexplained anaemia and can provide impo...

BACKGROUND Maternofetal parvovirus B19 infection may result in fetal hydrops or abortion. Chronic infection has been associated with long term complications (polyarthritis, persistent aplastic anaemia, hepatitis). In pregnancy maternal immunosuppression caused by a TH2 dominant response to viral antigens has been observed. There is little information on long term reactivity to intrauterine infe...
متن کاملAcute bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome associated with human parvovirus B19 infection.
Human parvovirus B19 has been described as a causative agent of erythema infectiosum (a disease common in children), aplastic crisis in patients with hemolytic disorders, and arthralgias and arthritis. Joint involvement may be a prominent clinical feature of parvovirus B19 infection and may last for several weeks. We describe three cases of acute bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome associated with...
