| Abstract | Human parvovirus (B19) infection causes Erythema infectiosum in persons with other hematological disorders like aplastic anemia and complications such as hydrops fetalis, spontaneous abortions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of IgG and IgM antibodies in B19 infected neurological patients and to assess possible transmission related risk factors. This cross-sectional descriptive study comprised 140 neurological patients. Blood samples were screened for both IgG and IgM against B19 by ELISA and nested PCR. IgG and IgM accounted 6.4% and 3.5% prevalence in neurological patients. Both IgG and IgM revealed prevalence of 3.5% simultaneously in different age groups. IgG and IGM Nested PCR displayed 6.42% B19 viral DNA prevalence among samples analyzed. Among B19 risk associated factors, only history of blood transfusion (Odds Ratio=1.9:1, P=0.04) was significantly associated with B19 infection among neurological patients. Neurological patients showed very less prevalence of B19 infection and hence disclose no significant association on risk factors associated with its transmission. |
