## Abstract Recent studies have suggested a pathogenic role of human parvovirus B19 (B19) in the development of acute fulminant liver failure in children. The hypothesis was based on the detection of B19 DNA in 8 of 10 explanted livers of children requiring liver transplantation. In the present stu
A nested polymerase chain reaction assay (nPCR) was used to investigate the potential of human parvovirus B19 DNA to persist in blood or bone marrow samples obtained either from blood donors or cadaveric bone donors or from patients presenting with clinical signs of parvovirus B19 infection. The pre
