B19V has been proposed as an etiologic agent for hepatitis, mainly in children, but this is a rare clinical occurrence. In this article, we report a case of non-A-E acute liver failure in an immunocompetent child with B19 infection. The clinical findings of severe anemia and pancytopenia combined with the detection of anti-B19 Immunoglobulin G (IgG), B19 DNA and B19 mRNA in liver indicate a persistent infection and suggest a diagnosis of parvovirus B19-associated acute liver failure.
B19病毒已被提出作为肝炎的病原体,主要发生在儿童中,但这是一种罕见的临床情况。在本文中,我们报告了一例免疫功能正常的儿童感染B19后发生非甲-戊型急性肝衰竭的病例。严重贫血和全血细胞减少的临床症状,结合在肝脏中检测到抗B19免疫球蛋白G(IgG)、B19 DNA和B19 mRNA,表明存在持续性感染,并提示诊断为细小病毒B19相关急性肝衰竭。
