ABSTRACT

Parvovirus B19 is a recognized cause of transient aplastic crisis in individuals with haemolytic disorder. However, reports are scarce that this virus is causative of acquired aplastic anemia even in healthy individuals. Hence, we report a case Parvovirus B19 induced aplastic anemia in a previously healthy individual.
