RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: B19 virus (B19V) and bocavirus 1 (HBoV1) are human pathogenic parvoviruses that are prevalent worldwide and are responsible for a diverse and not yet fully established spectrum of clinical manifestations. OBJECTIVE: To screen B19V and HBoV1 in patients with clinical manifestations associated with acquisition of the infection during gestation. METHODS: A retrospective, observational study was performed that included serum samples from patients without a previous known aetiology. B19V and HBoV1 were determined by end-point PCR. Positive samples were genotyped. RESULTS: A total of 106 serum samples were analysed, 61 from pregnant women and 45 from neonates and paediatric patients. None were positive for HBoV1, while B19V was detected in 37/106 [34.9â%, 95â% confidence interval (CI): 26.5-44.4] of the samples studied. In the group of pregnant women, 28/61 (45.9â%, 95â% CI: 34.0-58.3) were B19V-positive, and 2 of them had foetal anaemia followed by hydrops and foetal death, 3 were associated with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss and there was 1 case of spontaneous abortion. B19V was also detected in cases of maternal febrile exanthema, polyhydramnios, oligohydramnios and foetal ascites. In the group of children, 9/45 (20.0â%, 95â% CI: 10.9-33.8) neonatal patients were B19V-positive, and this was associated with foetal hydrops, TORCH syndrome and cardiac alterations. The nucleotide sequences analysed confirmed the identity of B19V genotype 1. CONCLUSIONS: We found no evidence to indicate the presence of HBoV1 in maternal blood or in the newborns/paediatric patients (hence providing no support for the supposed vertical transmission). On the other hand, the high frequency of B19V in the pathologies studied indicates the importance of molecular diagnosis in both the mother and the child. Future efforts should contribute to early detection and characterization of infections.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT Parvovirus B19 (B19V) can be transmitted by the respiratory route, vertically - from the mother to the fetus - and via blood transfusion or organ transplantation. Infection by transfusion of blood or blood products occurs due to the resistance of B19V to viral inactivation methods. Our study evaluated the presence of B19V deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and the prevalence of anti-B19V class G immunoglobulin (IgG) in women of childbearing age blood donors of the Federal District, Brazil. Our results demonstrated the absence of B19V DNA in these blood donors. However, the seroprevalence for anti-B19V IgG was observed in 60.7% of this population. This study provides important data of B19V circulation in the Center-West of Brazil.
RESUMO O parvovírus B19 (B19V) pode ser transmitido por via respiratória, verticalmente - da mãe para o feto - e via transfusão de sangue e transplante de órgãos. A infecção por transfusão de sangue ou hemoderivados ocorre devido à resistência do B19V aos métodos de inativação viral. Nosso estudo avaliou a presença do ácido desoxirribonucleico (DNA) B19V e a prevalência de imunoglobulina da classe G (IgG) anti-B19V em mulheres em idade fértil, doadoras de sangue do Distrito Federal, Brasil. Nossos resultados demonstraram a ausência de DNA de B19V nesses doadores. No entanto, foi observada a soroprevalência de IgG anti-B19V em 60,7% dessa população. Este estudo fornece dados importantes da circulação do B19V no Centro-Oeste do Brasil.
RESUMO
B19V infection is common during childhood. It is self-limited in healthy individuals, but is often associated with transient aplastic crisis in children with sickle cell disease. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and incidence of B19V infection in children with sickle cell disease screened by the Newborn Screening Program of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and followed-up at Fundação Hemominas. Serum or plasma samples from 278 patients were tested for anti-B19V IgG and IgM using commercial ELISA and for viral DNA using in-house real-time PCR assays; 127 negative-children were retested about 1 year later. The median age of children at first testing was 5.9 years (0.8-12.3). The estimated prevalence of B19V was 29.5 % (95%CI 24.1-34.9 %). The incidence of B19V in those 127 negative-children was 18.2 cases/100 patient-years. All DNA-positive samples were identified as genotype 1, except one sample, in which both genotypes 1 and 3 were identified. It was observed that the higher the child's age, the higher the probability of B19V infection. The analysis of clinical and hematological data showed a significant association of B19V infection with transient aplastic crisis and acute splenic sequestration, higher frequency of transfusions, and higher rate of hospitalization, but not with acute chest syndrome or stroke. These results emphasize the impact of B19V infection on the course of sickle cell disease. Strategies to prevent and monitor B19V infection in children with sickle cell disease should be considered to diminish its morbidity in this susceptible population.

O eritrovírus infecta células precursoras eritroides, determinando a interrupção temporária da eritropoese. Neste contexto, é importante o conhecimento das principais doenças hematológicas que podem estar associadas à presença do vírus, principalmente quando estão presentes em condições mórbidas, tais como nas anemias hemolíticas hereditárias. Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar as principais doenças hematológicas que cursam com a infecção pelo eritrovírus B19.
Erythroviruses infect precursor erythroid cells, determining a temporary disruption of erythropoiesis. Thus, knowledge of the main hematological diseases that may be associated with the virus is important, especially when they are present in morbid conditions, such as in hereditary hemolytic anemia. This paper aims at reporting the main hematological diseases that are associated with erythrovirus infections.

Human parvovirus B19 was identified and characterized in sample collected from a patient who was infected in Japan, and the symptoms as fever and rash appeared after arriving to Brazil. The occurrence of virus infection was confirmed by both assays: Elisa parvovirus B19-specific IgM antibody detection and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A fragment of NS1-VP1 region was directly submitted to nucleotide sequencing. Partial phylogenetic analysis of B19 sequences, including several sequences available in GenBank, indicated that the isolated HPV B19 corresponded to genotype 1.
O parvovirus humano B19 foi isolado e caracterizado de amostra clínica de um paciente, infectado no Japão, e que apresentou os sintomas de febre e erupção cutânea após sua chegada ao Brasil. A infecção por parvovírus foi confirmada por meio de seguintes ensaios: Elisa para detecção de anticorpos IgM antiparvovirus B19 e técnica de polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Um fragmento da região NS1-VP1 foi diretamente submetido ao seqüenciamento do nucleotídeo. A análise filogenética parcial do B19, frente às várias seqüências disponíveis no GenBank, indicou que PV B19 isolado correspondeu ao genótipo 1.
RESUMO
Antecedentes: El síndrome hemofagocítico es un desorden caracterizado por una proliferación benigna de los histiocitos y la fagocitosis de las células hematopoiéticas normales. Puede ocurrir por diversos estados de compromiso inmunológico o secundario a una gran variedad de infecciones. El comportamiento clínico puede presentarse desde una rápida recuperación hasta la muerte. Caso: Se descubrió una aplasia hematopoiética en una mujer de 27 años con 22 semanas de gestación sin factores de riesgo conocidos, presentando signos y síntomas aparentes de un síndrome purpúrico. La serología viral confirmó IgG e IgM positivos para Erythrovirus B19 y el aspirado de médula ósea demostró una hemofagocitosis reactiva con histiocitos y blastos afectando línea celular roja y blanca. El cuidado materno-fetal y el manejo conllevó al nacimiento de un recién nacido sin complicaciones. Conclusión: El diagnóstico del síndrome hemofagocítico durante el embarazo y el manejo oportuno de las complicaciones resultó en una adecuada resolución y éxito perinatal.
Background: Hemophagocytic syndrome is a hematologic disorder characterized by benign proliferation of histiocytes that undergo uncontrolled phagocytosis of normal hematopoietic cells. It can occur as a consequence of immunologic compromise or secondary of a wide range of infections. Clinical behavior can present from complete recovery to rapid deterioration and death. Case: Hematopoietic aplasia was discovered in a 27-year-old pregnant woman, gravida 2, at 22 weeks' gestation without known risk factors, presenting signs and symptoms of a purpuric syndrome. Confirmatory IgG and IgM Erythrovirus B19 viral serology was reported and bone marrow aspírate demonstrated reactive hemophagocytosis with histiocytes and blasts affecting red and white blood cell lines. Maternal-fetal assessment and management resulted in the delivery of a healthy newborn with an uncomplicated postpartum response. Conclusion: Oportune diagnosis of hemophagocytic syndrome during pregnancy and prompt management of its complications result in a marked resolution and perinatal success.
