dc.description.abstractTwenty four cases of pure red cell aplasia were reported. No underlying diseases were found in two cases. Of the 22 cases with secondary form, 10 were from infections, mostly gram negative organisms. Three cases had systemic lupus erythematosus, two had autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The following conditions were found in one each: thymoma, thyroid carcinoma, protein calorie malnutrition, rheumatoid arthritis, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Sheehan's syndrome. Three patients died, two from uncontrolled infection, the other from uncontrolled SLE and subsequently systemic fungal infection. Only one of the 2 primary cases responded to immunosuppressive drugs. The majority of patients with underlying infections, PRCA resolved after the infections were treated. This is the first reported series of PRCA in Thailand.en_US
