Abstract:
Pregnancy is normally a state of erythroid hyperplasia. Increased erythropoiesis during pregnancy is controlled by erythropoietin, which is augmented by the action of placental lactogen and inhibited by high levels of estrogen. We described a case of a patient with pure red cell aplasia during pregnancy that resolved completely in the postpartum period.
