  • Title: Parvovirus B19 Infection in a Fatal Case of Acute Liver Failure.
    Author: Leon LAA, Alves ADR, Garcia RCNC, Melgaço JG, de Paula VS, Pinto MA.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2017 Dec; 36(12):e355-e358. PubMed ID: 28787384.
    Abstract:
    B19V has been proposed as an etiologic agent for hepatitis, mainly in children, but this is a rare clinical occurrence. In this article, we report a case of non-A-E acute liver failure in an immunocompetent child with B19 infection. The clinical findings of severe anemia and pancytopenia combined with the detection of anti-B19 Immunoglobulin G (IgG), B19 DNA and B19 mRNA in liver indicate a persistent infection and suggest a diagnosis of parvovirus B19-associated acute liver failure.
