Περίληψη:
The etiology of transient crythroblastopenia of childhood (TEC) remains
unknown, although an association with viral infections has been
proposed. The authors describe a 3.5-year-old girl with classic TEC
concomitantly with human parvovirus B19 (HPV) infection. The infection
was evident by detection of HPV genome in the blood and the bone marrow
by polymerase chain reaction. Viral genome was no longer detected when
the TEC resolved clinically. The patient was immunocompetent and the
anemia has not recurred. To the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the
few documented cases of classic TEC attributable to HPV infection.
