Abstract:
Plasma-derived products are often used in cardiac surgery. We report the case of a patient developing an infection due to Parvovirus B19 after coronary artery bypass. Symptoms were fever, asthenia, anemia, and pancreatitis. This infection can be transmitted from plasma-derived product, like fibrin sealant (used for hemostasis during surgery). Parvovirus B19 is resistant to existing virus-inactivating techniques. The patient had to leave our hospital after symptomatic treatment which has significantly increased the length to stay.
