Resumen
GOOLAM, N. Parvovirus B19: An opportunistic healthcare burden. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2022, vol.112, n.11, pp.840-841. ISSN 2078-5135. http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/SAMJ.2022.v112i11.16663.
Parvovirus B19 is notoriously a cause of normocytic anaemia in patients in an immunocompromised state, more so than in patients without prior disease. It is increasingly prevalent in children and adults in an HIV-induced immunocompromised state, and its presentation may be varied. Red-cell aplasia and normocytic anaemia are common presenting derangements found. Here, we note the typical presentation of red-cell aplasia re-entering healthcare, with a dire effect on the quality of life of this patient.
