The only known host for parvovirus B19 is humans. Parvovirus B19 is directly cytotoxic to erythroid precursor cells of the colony- and burst-forming units. Human parvovirus B19 is the etiologic agent of erythema infectiosum and chronic pure red cell aplasia in immunocompromised individuals. Acute parvovirus B19 infection should be suspected in immunocompromised patients, who present with reticulocytopenic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is the standard treatment for parvovirus-induced cytopenias. We report two cases of postrenal transplant who presented with reticulocytopenic anemia and were found to have parvovirus infection. They did not respond to conventional treatment with intravenous gamma globulin. Both patients were treated with rituximab with which they had improvement in clinical and hematological parameters. There was no previous documentation of using rituximab in the treatment of parvovirus-triggered autoimmune hemolytic anemia postrenal transplant patients. This article illustrates how rituximab will be helpful in this setting, of course, it is a new thought but requires further studies and validation.</p>","PeriodicalId":37455,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Transplantation","volume":"1 1","pages":"139-142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7615908/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70754990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Certain technical and emotional modifications in approach and methods can help in increasing donations. “Kidney first” retrieval in situations such as delay in heart/liver team’s arrival, diagnostic dilemma for quality of organ, or single surgeon for both kidney transplants can prove useful in optimizing donor maintenance quality and cost and minimizing cold ischemia time of the other kidney, without altering the structural viability of other organs. Early handover of the deceased body for cremation adds a positive perspective to the grieving family’s decision for consent. This approach can be safely suggested for emerging transplant centers yearning to increase their scope of organ transplantation amidst the constraints of time, expertise, logistics, and infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":37455,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Transplantation","volume":"167 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135839897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
