Metagenomics Diagnosis of a Parvovirus B19-Associated Encephalomyelitis in an Epidemic Context
In the context of increasing parvovirus B19 (B19V) infections, we describe a case of B19V encephalomyelitis without any usually associated clinical features. Etiology was identified by metagenomics and confirmed by PCR and whole-genome sequencing. This case highlights the need to consider the diagnosis of B19V infection in patients presenting with neurological symptoms.
