✦ Synopsis

Acquired pure red cell aplasia characterized by selective failure of erythropoiesis was seen in a 37-yr-old female patient with a diagnosis of chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL). Though different immunosuppressive therapies have been tried in the past with variable response, there has been no case report of such favorable response to corticosteroids alone. We report this rare and unusual case of PRCA associated with CLL who responded to steroid therapy.
