Abstract
Recent reports document resolution of human parvovirus B19-related pure red blood cell aplasia (PB19-PRCA) in HIV-infected patients upon commencement of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). This article describes a patient with PB19-PRCA who, despite fully suppressive HAART, required cyclic administration of intravenous human immunoglobulin over a period of 17 months before PB19 seroconversion and subsequent resolution of relapsing severe anemia. All reports in the English literature describing PB19-related hematologic abnormalities in the post-HAART era are also described herein.
