Clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes of parvovirus B19 encephalitis in immunocompetent adults.

Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) has rarely been identified as a cause of encephalitis in immunocompetent adults, in whom clinical information regarding PVB19 encephalitis has remained unclear. Herein, we report the clinical presentations, laboratory and imaging findings, and treatment outcomes of five immunocompetent adults with PVB19 encephalitis. Although none of the patients showed any distinctive features of PVB19 infection, they showed various clinical manifestations, including one instance of brainstem involvement. Additionally, immunotherapy can be considered an effective approach, especially in immunocompetent adults with PVB19 encephalitis who are resistant to the initial management.
