Aplastic anemia secondary to parvovirus B19 infection in a heart transplant recipient: A case report
Parvovirus B19 infections represent a wide variety of severity and clinic spectrums, determined by the host’s immune competence state; the most representative syndromes associated are erythema infectiosum, arthropathy and Transient aplastic crisis. We present a case of a masculine patient with an antecedent of heart transplant, who consults for constitutional symptoms, with posterior documentation of aplastic anaemia and parvovirus B19 infections, with requirement of human immunoglobulin treatment and resolution of symptoms.
