	abstract = {Summary: Infection of human parvovirus B19 (B19) is usually a self-limiting febrile illness, but can sometimes be life-threatening under certain circumstances, such as aplastic crisis in patients with haemolytic anaemia, hydrops fetalis in pregnant women and fulminant hepatitis. B19 canbe transmitted through respiratory secretions, transplacentally and by transfusion of blood or blood products. In the present case, administration of intravenous immune globulin (i.v.Ig) transmitted B19 infection and consequently caused pure red cell aplasia and aggravation of hepatitis to fulminant hepatitis. Our case may raise important questions as to the safety of i.v.Ig and possible contamination by B19., (C) 2002 Blackwell Science Ltd.},
