Excerpt

To the Editor: The present study was planned to estimate the prevalence of human Parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection in children suffering with hematological malignancies or chronic anemia. Such hospitalized children (<15 y) were enrolled consecutively from 2011 through 2014. King George’s Medical University’s institutional ethical clearance was obtained (no.52 E.C.M.IIA/P6). Anti B19V IgG and IgM antibodies (ELISA kits by NovaTech Immunodiagnostica, Dietzenbach, Germany) and B19V DNA (by real time PCR [1]) were estimated in serum samples of enrolled patients. Relevant laboratory parameters were noted from hospital records of cases. Statistical analysis was done using GraphPad Prism Version 5. …
