Parvovirus B19 (B19) belongs to the Erythroparvovirus genus and is known to cause the fifth disease in children. Primary infection of pregnant women is associated with a high risk of hydrops fetalis and stillbirth due to severe fetal anemia. Virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine candidates for B19 have been developed, although none have been approved so far. The B19 phospholipase A2 domain (B19 PLA2), located in the VP1 unique region, is believed to be associated with adverse inflammatory reactions, and previous effective attempts to improve this vaccine modality inserted a mutation to impair the PLA2 activity of VLPs. In this study, we designed VLPs with a deletion mutant of PLA2 (⊿PLA2 B19 VLP), devoid of PLA2 activity, and confirmed their immunogenicity and safe use in vivo. These results were supported by the lack of histological inflammatory reactions at the site of immunization or the production of IL-6 in ⊿PLA2 B19 VLP-immunized mice, that were observed in mice immunized with B19 VLPs. CD4 T cells from mice vaccinated with VLPs and B19-seropositive human samples were not activated by B19 PLA2 stimulation, suggesting that the B19 PLA2 domain does not constitute a major CD4 T cell epitope. Most importantly, the ⊿PLA2 B19 VLPs induced neutralizing antibodies against B19, in levels similar to those found in B19-seropositive human samples, indicating that they could be used as a safe and effective vaccine candidate against B19.

Parvovirus B19 infection in children: a comprehensive review of clinical manifestations and management.

Parvovirus B19 (B19V) is a significant pathogen responsible for a wide range of clinical manifestations, particularly in children and pregnant women. While B19V is most commonly recognized as the cause of Fifth disease, a mild erythematous illness in children, its clinical impact extends far beyond this condition. B19V can lead to severe complications, including transient aplastic crisis in individuals with chronic hemolytic anemias, arthralgia, and more severe joint diseases.

To study the effects and mechanisms of activation of human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5) by exosomal RNA hsa _ circ _ 0006357 (circEZH2) derived from non-small cell lung cancer. Western blot was used to detect exosome molecular markers, reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and cell invasion assays to detect the effect of non-small cell lung cancer-derived exosomes on MRC-5 activation. A circRNA microarray analysis was performed in serum exosomes from patients with non-small cell lung cancer (collected at Ningbo University People's Hospital, September 2023), and levels of circEZH2 were measured in serum exosomes from non-small cell lung cancer by RT-qPCR analysis.

Several cases of glomerulonephritis occurring after infection with human parvovirus B19 (PVB19) have been reported. However, the pathogenesis and clinicopathological features of PVB19-related glomerulonephritis remain elusive. We describe the case of a 34 year-old woman who showed nephrotic syndrome and microscopic hematuria 10 days after PVB19 infection.

Human parvovirus B19 typically causes erythema infectiosum, but unusual exanthems and hemorrhagic manifestations, such as purpuric-petechial rashes, have also been reported. PVB19-associated purpuric-petechial eruption (PAPPE) should be recognized as a distinct clinical feature of primary parvovirus B19 infection and considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with febrile purpura. This report aims to highlight several scenarios of B19V-associated petechial and purpuric rashes, which may present to pediatric departments during outbreaks.
