title: B19 parvovirus-induced anemia in a normal child. Initial bone marrow erythroid hyperplasia and response to intravenous immunoglobulin.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Human B19 parvovirus infection may cause severe erythroid hypoplasia in patients with an underlying hemolytic anemia. We report a case of severe parvovirus-induced anemia with initial marrow erythroid hyperplasia in a child with no underlying hematologic disorder.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The patient's rapid hemoglobin recovery after treatment with i.v. immunoglobulin further supports this form of therapy for children with parvovirus-induced anemia.
