Abstract
Aplastic anemia is a disease of bone marrow failure characterized by pancytopenia with marrow hypocellularity. Possible etiologies that have been implicated includes drugs, irradiation and preceding viral infections as non-A, non-B, non-C hepatitis, Epstein Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, HIV and rubella. Most cases of parvovirus B19 infection are asymptomatic or present with flu like symptoms. Severe aplastic anemia has been reported in a previously healthy boy without any underlying diseases, following asymptomatic infection with parvovirus B19. A total of 22 patients with aplastic anemia admitted in medicine ward were studied. Patient with Hb less than 10gm%, total count less than 4000/cumm, platelet counts less than 1, 00,000/cumm were included. Bone marrow aspiration was done in all cases. Serum samples taken from each patient tested for parvovirus antibodies and viral DNA. Parvovirus B19 IgM detected in 22.7% cases and Parvovirus B19 DNA in 18.18% cases.
