Primary human parvovirus B19 infection in an HIV infected patient on highly active antiretroviral therapy.
Adults developing primary human parvovirus B19 (B19) infection may present with arthralgia, fever, and maculopapular rash. Recovery is linked to the development of specific neutralising antibodies. In immunosuppressed patients, including those with HIV infection, such humoral responses are impaired and severe chronic bone marrow suppression and arthritis may occur.
