Abstract
Presented here is a case of human parvovirus B19 (PVB19) induced pure red-cell aplasia (PRCA) in immunocompromised patient after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). PVB19 is a small, single-stranded DNA whose target cell is the erythroid progenitor in bone marrow. Manifestations of PVB19 infection vary with the immunologic status of the patient, ranging from asymptomatic to severe infections and PRCA. Post-transplant PRCA is induced either by immunosuppressive agents or PVB19. In the presented case, bone marrow aspiration characterized by the absence of mature erythroid precursors and detection of PVB19 DNA in blood led to treatment with high-dose intravenous human immunoglobulins (IVIG) and subsequent recovery of erythropoiesis. Due to insufficient antibody response in immunocompromised patients, suppression of the PVB19 infection is delayed and repetitive treatments may be administrated in attempt of reversing PRCA.
Abstract in Croatian
Prikazujemo slučaj izolirane aplazije crvene krvne loze uzrokovane humanim parvovirus B19 (PVB19) kod imunokompromitiranog bolesnika nakon transplantacije jetre. PVB19 je malen, jednolančani DNA virus čije je djelovanje usmjereno na prekursorne eritoidne stanice u koštanoj srži. Manifestacije PVB19 infekcije su raznolike, te ovise o imunološkom statusu bolesnika, a prezentiraju u rasponu od asimptomatskih do teških infekcija i izolirane aplazije crvene krvne loze. Kod transplantiranih bolesnika uzrok izolirane aplazije crvene krvne loze su imunosupresivni lijekovi ili PVB19. U prikazanom slučaju temeljem citološke analize koštane srži uz karakteristični nedostatak zrelih eritoidnih prekursora te verifikacijom PVB19 DNA u krvi postavljena je dijagnoza. Bolesnik je liječen visokim dozama intravenskih ljudskih imunoglobulina što je dovelo do oporavka eritropoeze. Međutim kod transplantiranih bolesnika, radi imunosupresivne terapije postoji nedostatan imunološki odgovor stoga je supresija infekcije PVB19 odgođena što zahtjeva ustrajnost u terapiji u cilju pokušaja reverzije izolirane aplazije crvene krvne loze.
