Abstract

In a 12 year-old boy presenting with auto-immune hemolytic anemia of the IgG type, human parvovirus infection was responsible for acute erythroblastopenia. Aplastic crisis quickly and spontaneously recovered but auto-hemolysis was durable. Human parvovirus induced erythroblastopenia has only been reported in patients with constitutional hemolytic anemia. On the other hand, in this case, human parvovirus infection revealed the auto-immune hemolytic anemia.
