case_images: Bone marrow aspirate smears showed a few giant pronormoblasts with deep blue cytoplasm, pseudopods, and poorly demarcated intranuclear inclusions (Figure 2).
case_images: Detection of human parvovirus B19 DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in blood and bone marrow aspirates. The first PCR resulted in an amplification of 496 base pair (bp) band, confirmed by the nested PCR, where a 232 bp band was amplified. Lane M, DNA size marker; Lane B, blood sample; Lane BM, bone marrow aspirates; Lane N, negative control; Lane P, positive control
