Background: Human parvovirus B19 has been identified in the serum of hepatitis B virus infected patient. It mostly cause erythema infectiosum in children but can also cause hydrops fetalis, arthropathies and transient aplastic crisis in adults.
Methods: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of B19-DNA in positive hepatitis B heamodialysis infected Sudanese patients. Serum samples from 50 heamodialysis HBV infected patients and 34 healthy donations were collected and analyzed for the presence of B19-DNA by nested PCR.
Result: 34 (11%) of healthy donors showed B19-DNA in nested PCR while 50 HBV heamodialysis patient showed the infection.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that human parvovirus B19 had higher prevalence among hepatitis B virus infected patients. Further investigation is needed to clarify if such infections can serious by affect patient health.
