ABSTRACT
Acquired pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) can be induced by various factors such as viral infection, thymoma, connective tissue disease, lymphoma, and adverse drug reactions. PRCA has not been reported in an adolescent in Korea for the past several decades. We recently experienced a case of acquired PRCA in an adolescent. A 14-year-old girl presented with pallor, dizziness, and mild fever. She had isolated normocytic normochromic anemia with reticulocytopenia in the peripheral blood and erythroblastopenia in the bone marrow. She was diagnosed with secondary acquired PRCA presumably induced by Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection during her clinical course, and she experienced spontaneous remission 11 weeks after initial diagnosis. Her clinical and hematologic statuses were normal as far as 20 months after her diagnosis.
