Summary:In the article the case of parvovirus B19 infection in a child, which occurred in the form of carditis and myositis, was presented for the first time. There was the rapid progression of the symptoms of acute rhabdomyolysis with a sharp increase in blood levels of creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, myoglobin, ferritin and troponin 1. Ultrasound examination revealed diffuse inflammatory changes in the muscles of the upper and lower extremities with multiple foci of disorganization of the muscular tissue. A high level of PVB19 DNA was determined by the quantitative PCR method, which allowed verifying the parvoviral B19 infection. Rapid clinical and laboratory response in the observed patient was the result of adequate complex therapy, including due to the early use of drugs with antiviral and immunomodulating action.
