Abstract:
Pure red cell aplasia is a rare hematopoietic complication of drug-induced hepatitis, with only five cases reported worldwide. Moreover, pure red cell aplasia associated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia in the setting of drug-induced hepatitis is exceedingly rare. We recently experienced a case of drug-induced hepatitis complicated by pure red cell aplasia and autoimmune hemolytic anemia without parvovirus B19 infection. Here, we report the case and review the literature.
