Resistant anemia in a kidney transplant recipient: Pure red cell aplasia due to parvovirus B19 infection.

Anemia in kidney transplant recipients can stem from a diverse array of etiologies, including dietary deficiencies, inflammatory processes, allograft dysfunction, as well as viral and bacterial infections. We present a case of refractory anemia in a 49-year-old male patient occurring within the initial month following a kidney transplant, which persisted despite numerous transfusions, posing a formidable challenge. The patient was maintained on the standard immunosuppressant regimen-Tacrolimus, Mycophenolate, and Prednisolone.
