erythema infectiosum/seizures

We report a 5-year-old girl who developed repeated episodes of behavioral alterations shortly after human parvovirus B19 infection and uveitis. Video-electroencephalographic study demonstrated that these brief episodes were frontal lobe seizures. Seizures responded promptly to antiepilepsy

Parvovirus B19 is the etiologic agent of erythema infectiosum (fifth disease), a fever-rash illness occurring in childhood. We present a 10 month old child with high grade fever for 10 days, generalized tonic-clonic seizure, bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy, generalized maculopapular rash,

The human parvovirus B19 agent causes infectious erythema (fifth disease). However, a wide range of other pathological manifestations may also be seen: atypical exanthema, ARD (also obstructive forms, e.g. bronchiolitis), acute gastroenteritis, chronic anemia or aplastic crises (in constitutional or

Spastic tetraplegia, thin corpus callosum, and progressive microcephaly is a recently described very rare autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder. This disease was first described in 2015 in several families from the Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry with a founder mutation in SLC1A4

In our study, 300 pregnant women were screened for the presence of human parvovirus B19 IgG and IgM antibodies by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Overall, 253 (84.3%) were found to be IgG-positive and IgM-negative (IgG+gM ), 42 (14%) had neither IgG nor IgM antibodies (IgG /IgM ) and 5

A 19-year-old, immunologically healthy man suffered from prolonged and intermittent high fever, left parotitis, systemic lymph node swelling, progressive liver dysfunction and leukocytopenia. 11 days after the fever onset, consciousness disturbance and generalized convulsion occurred. By the

Human parvovirus B19 is a common cause of benign erythema infectiosum (fifth disease) in otherwise healthy children. Immunocompromized patients are at risk of developing chronic infections leading to chronic hyporegenerative anemia. We report the case of a nine-year-old boy who presented five days

BACKGROUND Human parvovirus B19 (PVB19) causes erythema infectiosum or 5(th) disease in childhood, which mainly affects children between 3 and 15 years of age. PVB19 infections have also been described in association with a variety of neurologic manifestations including encephalitis. METHODS This

The spectrum of symptoms correlated to parvovirus B19 infections has expanded greatly during the past years. We report a case of anaemia, encephalitis-like symptoms and acute hepatitis in a 15-months-old Danish girl associated with parvovirus B19, verified by positive serum IgM og IgG antibodies.

Human parvovirus B19 infection causes most clinically defined aplastic crises in homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease. With transfusion support, the outcome is generally benign; however, cerebrovascular complications in close temporal association with B19-induced aplastic crises have been described.

BACKGROUND Parvovirus B19 is a single-stranded DNA virus belonging to the family Parvoviridae, genus Erythrovirus. PVB19 infection is most common in the pediatric population, manifesting as erythema infectiosum. In patients with hemoglobinopathy, PVB19 infection is known to cause aplastic anemia.

Human Parvovirus B19 (PVB19), the etiological agent of the fifth disease, is associated with a large spectrum of pathologies, among which is encephalitis. Since it has been detected from the central nervous system in children or in immunocompromised patients, its causative role in serious

OBJECTIVE To review and analyze the clinical features, treatment, and outcome of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in children with systemic onset juvennil rheumatoid arthritis (SOJRA). METHODS Retrospective review and analysis were performed on cases with MAS from a prospectively collected
