title: The spectrum of parvovirus b19 infection in a pediatric hemato-oncologic ward.
abstract: Of 1059 children, 35 children with various hemato-oncologic diseases were diagnosed with parvovirus B19 infection. The clinical spectrum included 11 immunocompromised patients presenting with prolonged pancytopenia, 7 patients with delayed hematologic recovery after stem cell transplantation, 5 patients with parvovirus B19 as possible cause of severe aplastic anemia or myelodysplastic syndrome, and 12 children with hemolytic anemia and transient aplastic crisis.
