ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Acquired pure red cell aplasia (aPRCA) related to human parvovirus B19 (HPV B19) is rarely reported in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT) recipients; there has yet to be a case report of early postoperative infection. In this current study, we report the case of a Chinese patient who experienced the disease in the early postoperative period.

CASE SUMMARY: A 63-year-old man, with type 2 diabetes and end-stage renal disease, received a brain dead donor-derived SPKT. Immunosuppression treatment consisted of tacrolimus, prednisone, enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), and thymoglobulin combined with methylprednisolone as induction. The hemoglobin (Hb) level declined due to melena at postoperative day (POD) 3, erythropoietin-resistant anemia persisted, and reticulocytopenia was diagnosed at POD 20. The bone mar row aspirate showed decreased erythropoiesis and the presence of giant pronormoblasts at POD 43. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of a blood sample identified HPV B19 infection at POD 66. EC-MPS was withdrawn; three cycles of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) infusion therapy were administered; and tacrolimus was switched to cyclosporine. The HPV B19-associated aPRCA resolved completely and did not relapse within the 1-year follow-up period. The diminution in mNGS reads was correlated with Hb and reticulocyte count improvements.

CONCLUSION: HPV B19-associated aPRCA can occur at an early period after SPKT. An effective therapy regimen includes IVIG infusion and adjustment of the immuno-suppressive regimen. Moreover, mNGS can be used for the diagnosis and to reflect disease progression.
