| seroepidemiology of human parvovirus b19 in taiwan. | in order to determine the prevalence and risk factors of human parvovirus b19 (b19) infection in taiwan, a seroepidemiological study was carried out in 19 townships. serum samples were collected from 862 healthy residents, who were selected by stratified random sampling from various study areas. they were chosen from four different ethnic groups including aborigines, fukien taiwanese, hakka taiwanese, and mainland chinese. serum samples were screened for b19 igg antibody by indirect antibody cap ... | 1999 | 9892403 |
| virus infection in patients with histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis in taiwan. detection of epstein-barr virus, type i human t-cell lymphotropic virus, and parvovirus b19. | the relationship of epstein-barr virus (ebv), type i human t-cell lymphotropic virus (htlv-i), and parvovirus b19 to histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis was studied prospectively in 10 taiwanese patients using materials obtained by fine-needle aspiration and lymph node biopsy. the presence of ebv was detected by in situ hybridization for ebv-encoded rna expression. immunocytochemistry was used to detect virus-encoded protein for ebv and parvovirus b19. dna in situ hybridization and polymerase ... | 2000 | 10874877 |
| parvovirus b19 infection in taiwanese patients with hematological disorders. | human parvovirus b19 has a strong tissue tropism for erythroid progenitor cells and is a causative agent for anemia. however, it remains unclear whether patients with hematological disorders are at a higher risk of b19 infection. in the present study, we evaluated the prevalence of b19 infection in 278 patients with hematological disorders by indirect antibody capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. virus inoculation into cell culture (of tf-6, wrl-68, and hl-60) was carried out using serum f ... | 2003 | 14556276 |
| parvovirus b19 infection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in taiwan. | to investigate the role of human parvovirus b19 infection in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (ra) in taiwan. | 2006 | 16511938 |
| low seroprevalence of parvovirus b19 in taiwanese children and young adults. | this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of parvovirus b19 antibodies in children and young adults aged=30 years old in taiwan. | 2010 | 20951355 |
| cluster of parvovirus infection among hospital staff working in coronary care units. | parvovirus b19 is associated with erythema infectiosum in children or arthralgia and arthritis in adults. the virus is relatively conserved and nucleotide identity is expected in viruses that are epidemiologically related. here, we describe the first cluster of parvovirus infection among hospital staff documented in taiwan. | 2010 | 21195886 |
| epidemiology of human herpesvirus type 8 and parvovirus b19 infections and their association with hiv-1 among men who have sex with men and injection drug users in taiwan. | human herpesvirus 8 (hhv-8), the causal agent of kaposi's sarcoma (ks), is transmitted sexually among men who have sex with men (msm), but little is known of its transmission among injection drug users (idus). by contrast, human parvovirus b19 (b19), a causative agent for anemia, is most frequently detected in idus. the aim of this study was to investigate the associations between hhv-8 infection and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1), and between b-19 and hiv-1 among msm and idus patie ... | 2014 | 23465711 |
