Abstract

One of the issues during the post-transplant phase is anemia. The increased risk of graft rejection makes evaluating transplant recipients difficult. Parvovirus-B19 (PV-B19) should be considered one of the differential diagnosis of post-transplant anemia (PTA) in renal transplantation recipients. In this article, we report a 32 year old man who was admitted to the hospital with anemia. During the assessment, infection with PV-B19 was confirmed as the cause of the anemia. He received intravenous immunoglobin (IVIG) as the treatment.

Keywords: Anemia; Intravenous Immunoglobin; Parvovirus-B19; Renal transplantation.
