Pre-Existing Intrarenal Parvovirus B19 Infection May Relate to Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Patients. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24119147. [PMID: 37298109 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24119147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Viral infections can lead to transplant dysfunction, and their possible role in rejection is described. In total, 218 protocol biopsies performed in 106 children at 6, 12 and 24 months after transplantation were analyzed according to Banff '15. RT-PCR for cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, BK virus and Parvovirus B19 was performed on blood and bioptic samples at the time of transplant and each protocol biopsy. The prevalence of intrarenal viral infection increases between 6 and 12 months after transplantation (24% vs. 44%, p = 0.007). Intrarenal Parvovirus B19 infection is also associated with antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) (50% ABMR vs. 19% T-cell-mediated rejection, p = 0.04). Moreover, Parvovirus infection is higher at 12 months of follow-up and it decreases at 48 months (40.4% vs. 14%, p = 0.02), while in 24% of grafts, Parvovirus is already detectable at the moment of transplantation. Intrarenal Parvovirus B19 infection seems to be related to ABMR in pediatric kidney recipients. The graft itself may be the way of transmission for Parvovirus, so performance of a PCR test for Parvovirus B19 should be considered to identify high-risk patients. Intrarenal Parvovirus infection presents mainly during the first-year post-transplantation; thus, we recommend an active surveillance of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) in patients with intrarenal Parvovirus B19 infection during this period. Indeed, it should be considered a treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins in patients with intrarenal Parvovirus B19 infection and DSA positivity, even in the absence of ABMR criteria for kidney biopsy.

Abstract
Parvovirus B19 (B19V) DNAemia appears to be a relatively common finding after kidney transplantation. However, not all DNAemia signifies active infection with replicating virus. This study screened 134 patients posttransplantation for B19V DNAemia and identified 2 cases in which viral DNA was present after transplantation, with the donor kidney as probable source of the DNA. In both cases intact viral particles could not be detected using an endonuclease method, indicating the presence of noninfectious DNA remnants.

Parvovirus B19 status in liver, kidney and pancreas transplant candidates: A single center experience. World J Transplant 2022; 12:378-387. [PMID: 36437842 PMCID: PMC9693899 DOI: 10.5500/wjt.v12.i11.378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Revised: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Parvovirus B19 (B19V) is associated with a wide range of clinical manifestations. The major presentation is erythema infectiosum. However, a persistent infection may cause pure red cell aplasia and chronic anemia in immunocompromized patients. The B19V seroprevalence varies with age and geographical location.
AIM To determine the B19V serological status and DNAemia in kidney, liver, and pancreas transplant candidates.
METHODS Patients who underwent kidney, liver, or simultaneous kidney and pancreas/liver transplantation between January 2021 and May 2022 were included in the study. The serum samples were collected before transplantation. For detection of B19V DNA, a LightMix Kit B19V EC (TIB MOLBIOL, Berlin, Germany) was used. B19V IgM and IgG antibodies were detected using a commercial ELISA test (Euroimmun, Lübeck, Germany).
RESULTS One hundred and thirty-one transplant candidates were included in the study, 71.0% male, with an average age of 53.27 years ± 12.71 years. There were 68.7% liver, 27.5% kidney, 3.0% simultaneous pancreas/kidney transplant (SPKT), and 0.8% simultaneous liver/kidney transplant recipients. No patients had detectable B19V DNA. B19V IgG seroprevalence was 77.1%. No acute or recent infections were detected (IgM antibodies). There was no difference in the mean age of seronegative and seropositive patients (51.8 years ± 12.9 years vs 53.7 years ± 12.7 years, t = -0.603; P = 0.548). Although seropositivity was lower in patients aged less than 30 years (66.6%) compared to the patients aged 30-59 years and > 60 years (80.4% and 78.1%, respectively), this difference was not significant. In addition, there was no difference in seropositivity between male and female transplant candidates, 76.3% and 78.9% (χ2 = 0.104; P = 0.748). The seroprevalence did not differ among organ recipients, with 77.8%, 80.6%, and 50.0% for liver, kidney, and SPKT, respectively, (χ2 = 5.297; P = 0.151). No significant difference was found in the seroprevalence in kidney transplant patients according to dialysis modality. Seroprevalence was 71.1% in hemodialysis patients, and 100% in peritoneal dialysis patients (χ2 = 0.799; P = 0.372).
CONCLUSION The B19V seroprevalence is expectedly high among kidney, liver, and pancreas transplant candidates, but there are still 22.9% of seronegative individuals who remain at risk for primary disease and severe manifestations. Further research should elucidate the necessity of B19V screening in peri-transplant management.

Infect Drug Resist 2022; 15:1903-1910. [PMID: 35465250 PMCID: PMC9030386 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s356174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection is a viral threat after kidney transplantation. It is mainly transmitted by close-contact inhalation of aerosolized viral particles. The risk of nosocomial spread of B19V in the transplantation ward is quite high. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of routine disinfection and the effectiveness of isolation measures in the wards of B19V-infected kidney transplant recipients. Patients and Methods Throat swab samples of 19 kidney transplant recipients admitted to the isolation ward and three healthcare workers (HCWs) were collected for viral DNA detection. Routine disinfection procedures were performed twice a day in general and B19V isolation wards. Environmental surface and air samples were collected for viral DNA detection before and after disinfection. Results A total of four patients were diagnosed with B19V infection and transferred to the B19V isolation ward, of which only two had positive throat swab samples. The other 15 patients and all HCWs tested negative for B19V. A total of 88 environmental surface and air samples were collected. Eight of the environmental samples collected in the B19V isolation ward before disinfection tested positive for B19V, while one sample tested positive after disinfection. In the general wards, all environmental samples collected before disinfection tested negative for B19V. All 24 samples collected from ambient air, whether in B19V isolation or general wards, before or after disinfection, tested negative for B19V. Conclusion Existing methods of routine or terminal disinfection for air and object surfaces were effective in eliminating B19V from object surfaces and ambient air in the isolation and general wards. Material surfaces that are exposed to high frequency and easily contaminated by blood, body fluids, and indoor air were the focus of cleaning and disinfection. Nosocomial cross-infection of other immunocompromised patients and HCWs can be avoided if appropriate prevention and control measures are taken.
