| Abstract |
Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) commonly infects children and is usually asymptomatic. Lethal outcomes of PVB19 infection are unusual; nevertheless, the two cases reported here are rare examples of PVB19-induced hemophagocytic syndrome and myocarditis in infants and children. The two cases show the indisputable usefulness of immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization in the detection of PVB19. In the death investigations, histopathological examinations provided stronger evidence than did serology or molecular biology. The cases also highlight the importance of forensic autopsy in vaccine-related death. As vaccine-related deaths are what people fear and may cause declines in vaccination rates, it is important to clarify deaths temporally or causally associated with vaccine administration. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 February 2019.
All research outputs
#20,532,290
of 23,102,082 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Legal Medicine
#1,571
of 2,091 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#292,456
of 335,775 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Legal Medicine
#44
of 54 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,102,082 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,091 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 335,775 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 54 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
