TI  - Parvovirus B19: A Rare Cause of Post-renal Transplant Anemia.
PG  - 785-787
AB  - Parvovirus B19 infection should be contemplated as one of the differential 
      diagnoses of persistent anemia in transplanted patients. There must be high index 
      of suspicion of Parvovirus B19, when post-transplant patients present with 
      refractory and severe anemia with reticulocytopenia and all the other common 
      causes of anemia such as blood loss, adverse effects of immunosuppressant agents 
      and graft dysfunction has been ruled out. In suspected patients, diagnosis is 
      confirmed by serological tests (IgM and IgG), PCR from blood and/or bone marrow 
      and by bone marrow biopsy finding of pure red cell aplasia. Intravenous 
      immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the treatment of choice and highly rewarding. Here we 
      are reporting two cases of post-transplant Parvovirusinfection, one in an adult 
      lady and second in an adult man who underwent live renal transplantation 
      recently.
