  • Title: Acute encephalopathy with parvovirus B19 infection in sickle cell disease.
    Author: Bakhshi S, Sarnaik SA, Becker C, Shurney WW, Nigro M, Savaşan S.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 2002 Dec; 87(6):541-2. PubMed ID: 12456562.
    Abstract:
    A 13 year old girl with haemoglobin Sbeta(+)thalassaemia developed simultaneous aplastic crisis and encephalopathy associated with parvovirus B19 (PB19) infection. Brain magnetic resonance imaging findings were consistent with central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis and her symptoms resolved with steroid therapy. Thus, PB19 induced CNS hypersensitivity vasculitis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of encephalopathy.
