Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Human parvovirus B19 infection causes several clinical syndromes. Systemic complications due to this illness are rare. Parvovirus B19 associated renal disease is being increasingly recognized. We report two cases with characteristic presentation with a nephrotic syndrome due to parvovirus B19. We discuss the importance of identifying this infection as a cause of endocapillary glomerulonephritis.
