Acute respiratory distress syndrome in a child with human parvovirus B19 infection

Cláudia Ferraz et al. Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2005 Nov.

Abstract

A 6-year-old girl developed shock and multiple organ dysfunction including acute respiratory distress syndrome in association with parvovirus B19 infection. The diagnosis was based on positive antibodies and the detection of parvovirus 19 DNA in serum, bronchial secretions and skin biopsy. It seems likely, but it was not proved, that the parvovirus infection caused acute respiratory distress syndrome.
