Abstract
Background Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection is usually symptomless and occurs in the childhood. While in immunocompromised adults, B19V infection also presents various clinical symptoms due to the host's immune status. The classic symptoms include erythema, anemia, arthropathy, and edema, but neurological involvement is rare. Case Presentation In this report, we present a case of B19V infection caused multiple organ dysfunction in a non-immunosuppressed adult. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was used and successfully detected the pathogen in multiple types of samples, including blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). The diagnosis was subsequently confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). He was treated with intravenous gamma globulin, resulting in a significant resolution of symptoms after 1 month. Conclusion Multisystem involvement induced by B19V infection was found in this case report. mNGS performed great advantages in rapidly and accurately diagnosing B19V infection in multiple types of samples, which helps the timely adjustment of treatment and improves the prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) can cause anemia in immunocompromised patients. We aimed to investigate the presence of B19V in HIV+ adults with different CD4+ T cell counts, to recognise the frequency of B19V in these different conditions and its possible association with anemia. METHODOLOGY We studied B19V specific IgM, IgG and DNA in 98 HIV+ patients and in 52 healthy individuals. HIV load, CD4+ counts and haemoglobin level were also determined in the patients. RESULTS No individual in the control group had detectable IgM, 41/52 (78.8 %) had IgG and 5/52 (9.6 %) had B19V DNA. Among HIV+ patients, we found 5/98 (5.1 %) IgM+, 66/98 (67.3 %) IgG+ and 15/98 (15.3 %) had B19V DNA (no significant differences between the two groups compared). Considering the CD4+ cell range in HIV patients, 37 had <200 CD4+ cells ml-1, 31 had 200-500, and 30 had >500. Anti-B19V IgG prevalence in patients with >500 CD4+ cells ml-1 was significantly higher than in the rest (P=0.004) and compared to the control (P=0.046). B19V DNA concentration was always <103 IU ml-1, including 5 healthy individuals and 15 HIV+ patients. There was no significant association between B19V IgM or DNA and anemia nor between B19V DNA and HIV load. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that B19V is not a high-risk factor for anemia in adult HIV+ patients under HAART treatment. Further studies will contribute to elucidate the mechanisms and significance of B19V DNA prevalence/persistence in adults, independently of the CD4+ cell status.

Abstract
Parvovirus B19 (B19V) and human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1), members of the large Parvoviridae family, are human pathogens responsible for a variety of diseases. For B19V in particular, host features determine disease manifestations. These viruses are prevalent worldwide and are culturable in vitro, and serological and molecular assays are available but require careful interpretation of results. Additional human parvoviruses, including HBoV2 to -4, human parvovirus 4 (PARV4), and human bufavirus (BuV) are also reviewed. The full spectrum of parvovirus disease in humans has yet to be established. Candidate recombinant B19V vaccines have been developed but may not be commercially feasible. We review relevant features of the molecular and cellular biology of these viruses, and the human immune response that they elicit, which have allowed a deep understanding of pathophysiology.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Primary parvovirus B19 infection is an infrequent, but serious and treatable, cause of chronic anemia in immunocompromised hosts. Many compromised hosts have preexisting antibody to B19 and are not at risk. However, upon primary infection, some patients may be able to mount a sufficient immune response to terminate active parvovirus B19 infection of erythroid precursors. The most common consequence of B19 infection in the compromised host is pure red-cell aplasia, resulting in chronic or recurrent anemia with reticulocytopenia. Anemia persists until neutralizing antibody is either produced by the host or passively administered. Parvovirus B19 should be suspected in compromised hosts with unexplained or severe anemia and reticulocytopenia, or when bone-marrow examination shows either giant pronormoblasts or absence of red-cell precursors. Diagnosis is established by detection of B19 DNA in serum in the absence of IgG antibody to B19. In some cases, IgG antibody is detected but is not neutralizing. Anti-B19 IgM may or may not be present. Therapy includes any or all of the following: red-cell transfusion, adjustment in medications to restore or improve the patient’s immune system, and administration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Following treatment, patients should be closely monitored, especially if immunosuppression is unchanged or increased. Should hematocrit trend downward and parvovirus DNA trend upward, the therapeutic options above should be revisited. In a few instances, monthly maintenance IVIG may be indicated. Caregivers should be aware that B19 variants, though rarely encountered, can be missed or under-quantitated by some real-time polymerase-chain reaction methods.

Abstract
Immunocompromised patients may develop severe chronic anaemia when infected by human parvovirus B19 (B19V). However, this is not the case in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with good adherence to highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART). In this study, we investigated the clinical evolution of five HIV-infected patients receiving HAART who had B19V infections confirmed by serum polymerase chain reaction. Four of the patients were infected with genotype 1a strains and the remaining patient was infected with a genotype 3b strain. Anaemia was detected in three of the patients, but all patients recovered without requiring immunoglobulin and/or blood transfusions. In all cases, the attending physicians did not suspect the B19V infections. There was no apparent relationship between the infecting genotype and the clinical course. In the HAART era, B19V infections in HIV-positive patients may be limited, subtle or unapparent.

Abstract
Aside from enteroviruses and other viruses, e.g., adenoviruses, which are known to be associated with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC), a cardiac tropism is also attributed to parvovirus B19 (PVB19). The purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence of enterovirus, adenovirus and PVB19 genomes in the myocardium of adult patients with IDC and to analyze the significance of PVB19 with regard to the course of the disease, as compared to the other cardiotropic viruses. In 52 adult patients with IDC and 10 control patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (> or =55%) undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery, myocardial tissue samples were investigated for enteroviral RNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot hybridization of the PCR product. Specific nested PCR was used to assess the prevalence of adenovirus and PVB19 DNA, in addition to sequencing of the latter. The clinical and echocardiographic course of the disease was followed for a mean (+/- SD) period of 21.1+/-9.5 months. Fourteen of the 52 patients (27%) were enterovirus-positive, 2/52 (4%) patients were adenovirus-positive, 14/52 (27%) patients were PVB19-positive, 8/52 (15%) patients were enterovirus plus PVB19-positive, and in 14/52 (27%) patients no viral genomes were found. Six patients died during the follow-up period, without any significant difference between the patient groups: 1/14 (7%) in the enterovirus-positive, 0/2 (0%) in the adenovirus-positive, 2/14 (14%) in the PVB19-positive, 1/8 (12.5%) in the enterovirus plus PVB19-positive, and 2/14 (14%) in the virus-negative group. PVB19 genome was found in 4 of the 10 (40%) control patients, but no enterovirus or adenovirus genomes were detected in these patients. In conclusion, in the myocardium of patients with IDC, PVB19 is detectable as frequently as enteroviral genome. PVB19-positive patients with IDC have a rather favorable prognosis and do not differ significantly from the other virus-positive or virus-negative patient groups with respect to survival. Finally, the pathogenetic and prognostic significance of PVB19 in IDC still remains unclear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parvovirus B19 infections are associated with different clinical manifestations that vary from symptom-less to severe. The main clinical manifestations are erythema infectiosum or fifth disease, transient aplastic crisis in individuals with hemoglobinopathies, chronic anemia in the immunocompromised, acute polyarthralgia syndrome in adults, hydrops fetalis, spontaneous abortion and stillbirth. Although the classical features of B19 and rubella infections are distinct, uncommon presentations can lead to misdiagnosis. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to assess the occurrence of parvovirus B19 (B19) infection in patients with clinical signs of toxoplasmosis or rubella, both of which were not confirmed by laboratorial techniques. STUDY DESIGN Serum samples from 214 patients were collected between January 1996 and December 1997 in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, B19 specific IgG and IgM were detected by using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and viral nucleic acid was detected employing a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol. RESULTS Combining the results obtained by IgM ELISA and PCR, 14.5% of the samples were positive in one or both tests, with a concordance of 92.5% between the two techniques. CONCLUSIONS Specimens collected in 16 out of 22 municipalities were positive in at least one out of the three tests employed, indicating that parvovirus B19 circulates in several regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Abstract
In immunocompromised patients, clinical manifestations of human parvovirus B19 (PVB19) infection are mostly reported as acute or chronic hematological disorders. Recently, PVB19 infection has been associated with nonhematological symptoms. Four years after lung transplantation, a 9-year-old girl developed a severe anemia with reticulocytopenia requiring blood transfusion. PVB19 DNA was found by polymerase chain reaction in blood. Blood marrow aspiration revealed typical features of PVB19 infection. She was successfully treated with high dose of i.v. Ig. Then, she exhibited recurrent nonregenerative anemia requiring another course of i.v. Ig. PVB19 DNA has been persisted in blood with no specific immune response. At the same time, she suffered from several lung infection syndromes with no microorganism found except PVB19 DNA. Recurrent mild renal dysfunction was noticed with no other explanation than PVB19 infection. This report indicates that pediatric transplanted patients are at risk of chronic PVB19 infection, which can be associated with lung and/or renal disorders.
