title: B19 chronic bone marrow failure: a persistent parvovirus infection of humans.
abstract: The human parvovirus B19 may produce persistent infections with chronic bone marrow failure in immunocompromised hosts. Despite poor data on the pathophysiologic basis of such infections, it is likely that immune humoral response plays an important part. Indeed, administration of immunoglobulin preparation may help to control the course of B19 chronic infections.
