Diamond Blackfan anaemia: apparent relapse due to B19 parvovirus.
A spontaneous remission occurred after 3 years of regular transfusions in a cortico resistant Diamond Blackfan anaemia. However after 1 year of transfusion independence an apparent relapse was observed which was transient and could be attributed to a B19 parvovirus primary infection. Previous inapparent impairment of erythropoiesis can be transiently spotlighted by B19 parvovirus primary infection.
