Several investigators have reported patients with acute pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) caused by anticonvulsants, antibiotics, or antithyroid agents. Allopurinol is known to be a causative agent of aplastic anemia, but there have been few reports of acute PRCA induced by allopurinol. We describe here
A patient with pure red cell aplasia and expansion of the peripheral blood natural killer (NK) cell population is described. Despite normal absolute and differential leukocyte counts, NK cells were increased at diagnosis and at relapse. Furthermore, these cells were not morphologically recognizable
After intermittent treatment with busulphan over a 7-year period for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase, a 39-year-old female developed leukocytosis in association with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). Bone marrow examination confirmed erythroid aplasia, and culture revealed a total absenc
