Abstract

Parvovirus B19 is a common human infection worldwide and is typically self-limiting in healthy persons but immunocompromised patients require specific treatments. Pretransplant B19 screening doesn’t seem to be important or have any impact on the transplantation process but cytomegalovirus (CMV) study is crucial. We present a kidney- transplanted child infected by parvovirus B19 and cytomegalovirus presented with intractable anemia and raised creatinine. © 2025 Indian Journal of Nephrology.
