ASHAKA, Oluwaseyi S.; AGBEDE, Olajide O.; OMOARE, Adesuyi A. e ERNEST, Samuel K.. Human parvovirus B19-induced anaemia in pre-school children in Ilorin, Nigeria. Afr. J. Lab. Med. [online]. 2018, vol.7, n.1, pp.1-4. ISSN 2225-2010. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/ajlm.v7i1.615.
Sera collected from 57 anaemic and 115 non-anaemic age-matched pre-school children in Ilorin, Nigeria, between November 2014 and December 2015 were assayed for human parvovirus B19-specific IgM antibodies by using the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay technique. A total of 17 (29.8%) anaemic children and 18 (15.7%) non-anaemic children were positive for parvovirus B19 infection. Infection with parvovirus B19 is common in this population, and screening for the virus during differential diagnosis is recommended.
