Abstract
There are multiple causes of hepatitis. The most frequent etiologies are viral, usually hepatitis A, B and C viruses. However, other, non-hepatotropic viruses can cause this disease, including parvovirus B19. We present a case of acute hepatitis due to parvovirus B19, as well as a review of the epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic features of this entity.
