Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) as a result of parvovirus B19 (PVB19) infection after transplantation is a rare complication, and there are very few cases describing liver transplant recipients. This report presents the case of an 8-year-old boy who developed severe anemia after living donor liver transplantation for primary sclerosing cholangitis. For the diagnosis and therapy, a real-time PCR assay was a useful noninvasive test. He required intravenous immunoglobulin therapy and successfully recovered.
