Abstract
We report a case of a 12-year-old male with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency presenting with clinical signs of sepsis and pancytopenia. Investigations revealed parvovirus B19 (PVB19)-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The patient recovered fully and quickly with symptomatic treatment. Current evidence suggests that PVB19-associated HLH has a favorable prognosis. Mild undiagnosed cases of HLH may be the cause of pancytopenia in PVB19 infections.
