My son was just dx with hereditary spherocytosis. i am so worried about him getting parvovirus and going into aplastic crisis. what do i watch for??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Parvovirus B19: The main symptom to look for in aplastic crisis is pallor. Parvovirus B19 is somewhat common and symptoms overlap with upper respiratory infection, so it may difficult to avoid completely. People are contagious before the rash appears. Reduce risk of transmission with good handwashing and avoiding close contact with sick people.
