title: Parvovirus B19-induced multisystem disease simulating systemic vasculitis in a young child.
abstract: Parvovirus B19 mostly presents as a transient viral illness or as pure red cell aplasia. However, this virus can sometimes cause an illness that may pose diagnostic difficulties. We describe one such patient who had clinical features simulating a vasculitic disorder secondary to parvovirus B19 infection.
