- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a three year old boy who experienced a human parvovirus B19-induced aplastic crisis due to folate deficiency. It is reported that human parvovirus B19 (HPV B19) is known to infect erythroid progenitor cells, leading to hematopoietic arrest and aplastic crisis in individuals with chronic hemolytic anemia. It is further reported that the virus can also affect granulocyte and megakaryocyte lineages, causing neutropenia and thrombocytopenia.
