Progressive Anemia in a Pig-tail Macaque With AIDS.
The present report is a diagnostic exercise of a case of progressive anemia in a pigtail macaque with AIDS. In summary, the immune suppression of the macaque by the KUSHIV-1B virus prevented an effective immune response to simian parvovirus (SPV), resulting in persistent infection with progressive anemia. Simian parvovirus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of anemia in macaques typically used in research.
