PG - 2530-2532 LID - S0041-1345(19)31279-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.transproceed.2020.01.091 [doi] AB - Acquired pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is characterized by severe normocytic (rarely macrocytic) and normochromic anemia, a low reticulocytes count in peripheral blood, and near absence of erythroid precursors in the bone marrow, with a normal level of erythropoietin. We describe a case of the kidney transplant recipient, diagnosed with PRCA induced with parvovirus B19 infection. Our case demonstrates that although this complication is rare, it should be considered in a differential diagnosis of anemia diagnostics in immunocompromised patients. In our case reduced immune response resulted from post-transplant immunosuppressive therapy. In our patient, apart from infection by parvovirus B19, graft dysfunction due to polyomavirus BK virus infection was also detected together with histologic and serologic features of antibody-mediated renal graft rejection. Considering the entire clinical picture, intravenous immunoglobulin therapy (IVIg) was successfully introduced. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
