Abstract
We describe a case of persistent parvovirus B19 infection in a 48-year-old female physician that was complicated by prolonged fatigue and arthritis associated with cartilaginous and ligamentous damage in both wrists. Nineteen months after presentation, intravenous immunoglobulin therapy resulted in clearance of parvovirus B19 viremia and a significant improvement in the symptoms of fatigue and arthritis.Entities:
