Significance of parvovirus B19 infection in childhood - collection of demographic data, clinical presentation, diagnostic findings and the impact on patients with hemolytic anemia

Children with hemolytic anemia, such as spherocytosis, are at higher risk of severe anemia and require more frequently transfusions during acute parvovirus B19 infection. The observed increase in cases after 2022 suggests changing epidemiological patterns and highlights the need for careful surveillance and early diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in affected children.

Abstract

Children with hemolytic anemia, such as spherocytosis, are at higher risk of severe anemia and require more frequently transfusions during acute parvovirus B19 infection. The observed increase in cases after 2022 suggests changing epidemiological patterns and highlights the need for careful surveillance and early diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in affected children.
