Door virale infecties veroorzaakte hematologische aandoeningen

Viral infections may lead to a wide variety of haematological manifestations, ranging from transient disturbances of the white or red blood cell count to letal aplasia. More severe complications are primarily seen in immunocompromised children. Moreover, a number of haematooncological diseases are associated with specific viral infections, including Epstein-Barr-virus, cytomegalovirus, human herpes virus type 6, parvovirus B ₁₉, human T-cell leukaemia virus type I and human immunodeficiency virus.
