Infection with parvovirus-like virus and aplastic crisis in chronic hemolytic anemia
Abstract:
From 1980 to 1982 seven adults with chronic hemolytic anemia were admitted to Cook County Hospital, Chicago, with aplastic crisis. Six of these patients had sickle cell anemia, the seventh patient had beta thalassemia intermedia. Virologic studies showed that six patients had acute infection with the human parvovirus-like virus; in the remaining patient the lack of appropriate specimens precluded viral diagnosis. We describe the features of the virus infection and accompanying erythroid aplasia, and discuss the role of parvovirus-like virus as the etiologic agent in the arrest of erythrocyte production.

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
