Erythrovirus B19 induced persistent bicytopenia in a healthy child
نویسندگان
چکیده
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), with an incidence of 3–5 per 100,000 individuals, is diagnosed by exclusion. Erythrovirus B19 (EV19) infection has been reported to be associated with ITP in from 13% to 50% of cases.1–3 Combined chronic red cell hypoplasia and thrombocytopenia has been rarely reported in otherwise healthy individuals. We report a case of EV19-induced erythroid hypoplasia and thrombocytopenia diagnosed on bone marrow examination.

Novel human erythrovirus associated with transient aplastic anemia.
Erythrovirus (formerly parvovirus) B19 causes a wide range of diseases in humans, including anemia due to aplastic crisis. Diagnosis of B19 infection relies on serology and the detection of viral DNA by PCR. These techniques are usually thought to detect all erythrovirus field isolates, since the B19 genome is known to undergo few genetic variations. We have detected an erythrovirus (V9) marked...
متن کاملFatal myocarditis associated with acute parvovirus B19 and human herpesvirus 6 coinfection.
We report on the case of a healthy young boy who developed a fulminant myocarditis due to acute coinfection with erythrovirus (parvovirus B19) and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in the absence of an antiviral immune response. We suggest that the HHV-6-induced immunosuppression enhanced dissemination of parvovirus B19, which led to fatal myocarditis.

Parvovirus B19-introduction Parvovirus B19 (B19) is an erythrovirus and recent studies have classified B19 as a genotype 1 erythrovirus with genotypes 2 (erythrovirus K71 or A6) and 3 (erythrovirus V9) also present in the human population. B19 is a significant human pathogen which can cause foetal hydrops and foetal death if maternal infection, followed by transplacental QA :1 foetal infection,...

Parvovirus B19 is a small non-enveloped single-stranded DNA virus of the family Parvoviridae and genus Erythrovirus. B19 virus is most known for causing erythema infectiosum (fifth disease) in children as well as numerous other diseases such as arthropathy in adults, Transient aplastic crisis in patients with increased erythropoiesis and persistent anemiain in immunocompromised patients. Parvov...

Increased recognition of parvovirus B19 (B19), an erythrovirus, as a significant human pathogen that causes fetal loss and severe disease in immunocompromised patients has resulted in intensive efforts to understand the pathogenesis of B19-related disease, to improve diagnostic strategy that is deployed to detect B19 infection and blood-product contamination and, finally, to elucidate the natur...
