abstract: Infection by human parvovirus B19 is widespread and can be associated with a wide range of different pathologies and clinical manifestations. However, parvovirus B19 infection associated with hepatitis or hepatic dysfunction in adults is rarely reported. We describe two cases of acute icteric hepatitis associated with parvovirus B19 infection in adults.
