To the Editor.— Human parvovirus is already known to be responsible for aplastic crisis in chronic hemolytic anemia,1 for erythema infectiosum or fifth disease,2 and for arthropathies,3,4 and it has recently been isolated from the serum of patients with vascular purpura.5 We report the case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura associated with human parvovirus infection. H. T., a 6-year-old girl, without any significant past history, was admitted on March 8, 1985, for joint pain and swelling (wrists, knees, ankles) associated with intense abdominal pain.

AbstractHereditary spherocytosis is the most frequent cause of hereditary hemolytic anemia and is classified into five subtypes (SPH1-5) according to OMIM. Because the clinical and laboratory features of patients with SPH1-5 are variable, it is difficult to classify these patients into the five subtypes based only on these features. We performed target capture sequencing in 51 patients with hemolytic anemia associated with/without morphological abnormalities in red blood cells. Thirteen variants were identified in five hereditary spherocytosis-related genes (six in ANK1 [SPH1]; four in SPTB [SPH2]; and one in each of SPTA1 [SPH3], SLC4A1 [SPH4], and EPB42 [SPH5]). Among these variants, seven were novel. The distribution pattern of the variants was different from that reported previously in Japan but similar to those reported in other Asian countries. Comprehensive genomic analysis would be useful and recommended, especially for patients without a detailed family history and those receiving frequent blood transfusions due to chronic hemolytic anemia.
