ABSTRACT

Background: human parvovirus B19 is the causative agent of fifth disease in children and of polyarthropathy and acute erythroblastopenia in adults.
Objective: to determine the clinical, epidemiological and analytical aspects of parvovirus B19 infection during a nosocomial outbreak.
Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the Medicine and Pediatrics services of the Regional Lambayeque Hospital during the months of November and December 2017. A study of a series of cases was carried out based on the patients and health personnel historical charts, with a positive result to the PVB1 infection, through the ELISA technique. The universe was constituted by 153 patients treated in the Medicine and Pediatrics services. Of which it was selected a sample of 16 cases, based on the criteria.
Results: 16 positive patients from the Medicine and Pediatrics departments were identified, with IgM titers against parvovirus B19 greater than 17 IU / mL, whose ages ranged from 6 months to 38 years. Among them 8/16 patients presented comorbidities of which 3/8 corresponded to autoimmune diseases. In-hospital contacts were evident in both services. Greater morbidity was found in middle-aged female health personnel.
Conclusions: Parvovirus B19 infection in the hospital or other health environment represents a risk mainly for health personnel.
