  • Title: Parvovirus B19-associated hemophagocytic syndrome.
    Author: Boruchoff SE, Woda BA, Pihan GA, Durbin WA, Burstein D, Blacklow NR.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1990 Apr; 150(4):897-9. PubMed ID: 2158284.
    Abstract:
    Parvovirus B19 is a recently described pathogen, associated with an increasing spectrum of clinical manifestations. We present the first reported case, to our knowledge, of parvovirus B19-associated hemophagocytic syndrome, in which the diagnosis of parvovirus infection was documented by the presence of B19-specific IgM and IgG antibodies. Pancytopenia resolved immediately following splenectomy and the patient recovered completely.
