Abstract

Purpose: Human parvovirus B19 infection is widespread and has a heterogeneous clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic infection to potentially life-threatening complications. We investigated the various clinical features of human parvovirus B19 infection during an outbreak of the virus in our community. Methods: A retrospective chart review study was conducted at the Pusan National University Children's Hospital from December 2017 to April 2019. We investigated the clinical features of children with parvovirus B19 immunoglobulin M or parvovirus B19 DNA detected using polymerase chain reaction. Results: A total of 24 children were diagnosed with parvovirus B19 infection. Twelve (50%) had lace form rashes, and four (16.7%) had petechial rashes. Two (8.3%) were diagnosed with fever without a focus. Six (25%) developed aplastic crisis as a complication of infection, of whom three were previously diagnosed with hereditary spherocytosis and three with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Conclusions: In addition to erythema infectiosum, the parvovirus B19 infection can present clinically with various types of rashes and fever without a focus. Furthermore, hematologic manifestations such as neutropenia and aplastic crisis can occur during infection.

목적: 인간 파르보바이러스 B19 감염은 무증상에서 생명을 위협하는 합병증에 이르기까지 광범위하고 다양한 증상을 나타낸다. 우리는 파르보바이러스 B19 감염의 지역사회 내 집단발생 시기 동안, 파르보바이러스 B19 감염의 다양한 임상 양상에 대해 조사하였다. 방법: 2017년 12월부터 2019년 4월까지 부산대학교 어린이병원에서 파르보바이러스 B19 면역 글로불린 M (IgM) 또는 중합효소 연쇄 반응(polymerase chain reaction, PCR)에 의해 검출된 파르보바이러스 B19 DNA를 가진 소아의 임상적 특징을 후향적 차트 분석을 통해 알아보았다. 결과: 24명의 어린이가 파르보바이러스 B19 감염으로 진단되었다. 24명의 환자 중 12명(50%)은 레이스 형태 발진이 있었고, 24명의 환자 중 4명(16.7%)은 점상출혈 발진, 24명의 환자 중 2명(8.3%)은 무병소 발열로 진단되었다. 24명 중 6명의 환자(25%)는 골수무형성위기가 발생하였고, 이 중 3명은 이전에 유전 구형적혈구증, 3명은 이전에 급성 림프모구 백혈병으로 진단되었던 환자이다. 결론: 감염홍반 외에도 파르보바이러스 B19 감염의 임상적 특징은 다양한 종류의 발진과 무병소 발열으로 나타날 수 있다. 또한, 혈액학적 증상으로 중성구 감소증, 골수무형성 위기와 같이 발생할 수 있다.
