	abstract = {<p>We describe a case of symptomatic parvovirus B19 infection transmitted by bone marrow (BM). The infection caused prolonged anaemia, thrombocytopenia, arthralgia and erythema infectiosum in a 16-year-old girl with acute myeloid leukaemia receiving a BM transplant (BMT). The BM donor was a 19-year-old asymptomatic brother who had parvovirus B19 viraemia at the time of BM harvest. Sequencing of the VP2 gene from the patient and the donor showed a perfect match of DNA sequences, confirming the mode of transmission. Parvovirus B19 represents a potential complicating factor in patients undergoing BMT, but screening by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of donor BM may reduce the risk of infection.
