title: [Parvovirus B19 infection revealed by acute renal insufficiency].
abstract: Human adult Parvovirus B19 infection is a well known disease most frequently seen in haematology and cancerology. To our knowledge, however, renal involvement in this context has never been reported. A case of severe infection caused by this virus is reported, where multiple organ involvement is associated with acute renal failure. The outcome was favourable with temporary dialysis and symptomatic treatment. Mechanisms of renal failure, presumably multifactorial, are discussed in the light of this case.
