Parvovirus B19 is notoriously a cause of normocytic anaemia in patients in an immunocompromised state, more so than in patients without prior disease. It is increasingly prevalent in children and adults in an HIV-induced immunocompromised state, and its presentation may be varied. Red-cell aplasia and normocytic anaemia are common presenting derangements found.
