Acute fulminant hepatitis with bone marrow failure in an adult due to parvovirus B19 infection.

摘要

Infection by parvovirus B19 is widespread and can be associated with a wide range of different pathologies and clinical manifestations. It mainly causes the childhood exanthema erythema infec-tiosum and an influenza-like condition with polyarthropathy. In rare cases, parvovirus B19 infection has been associated with hepatic dysfunction and hematologic disease in adult. We describe here a case of acute fulminant hepatitis with bone marrow failure in a healthy adult following asymptomatic infection with B19 virus.
