Аннотация

BACKGROUND: Parvovirus B19 infections are associated with different clinical manifestations that vary from symptom-less to severe. The main clinical manifestations are erythema infectiosum or fifth disease, transient aplastic crisis in individuals with hemoglobinopathies, chronic anemia in the immunocompromised, acute polyarthralgia syndrome in adults, hydrops fetalis, spontaneous abortion and stillbirth. Although the classical features of B19 and rubella infections are distinct, uncommon presentations can lead to misdiagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to assess the occurrence of parvovirus B19 (B19) infection in patients with clinical signs of toxoplasmosis or rubella, both of which were not confirmed by laboratorial techniques.

STUDY DESIGN: Serum samples from 214 patients were collected between January 1996 and December 1997 in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, B19 specific IgG and IgM were detected by using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and viral nucleic acid was detected employing a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol.

RESULTS: Combining the results obtained by IgM ELISA and PCR, 14.5% of the samples were positive in one or both tests, with a concordance of 92.5% between the two techniques.

CONCLUSIONS: Specimens collected in 16 out of 22 municipalities were positive in at least one out of the three tests employed, indicating that parvovirus B19 circulates in several regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro.
