Bone marrow pathologies associated with human viral infections.

Pathology Virus Comments
Pancytopenia EBV Self-resolving
HCV Affected by medication
Aplastic anemia Parvovirus B19 Driven by infection of erythroid progenitors
EBV, CMV, VZV, HHV, HIV, HAV, and HCV Driven by a strong antiviral T cell response and ensuing cytokine production
Dengue Mechanism unknown
HLH CMV Driven by the ensuing antiviral immune response rather than the virus itself
Parvovirus B19
Dengue
HAV
HIV (acute)
Lymphoproliferative disorders and malignancies EBV Infectious mononucleosis and chronic active EBV disease
HCV Acute myeloid leukemia, primary myelodysplastic syndrome
