Phagocytosis of Lymphocytes and Erythrocytes by B-Cell Lymphoma in a Patient With a Clinical Suspicion of Pure Red Cell Aplasia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Herein, we report a diagnostically challenging case of a B‐cell lymphoma initially masquerading as pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). The key to diagnosis was the unique finding of phagocytic activity (engulfing erythrocytes and lymphocytes) by atypical mature lymphocytes in both peripheral blood and bone marrow, accompanied by clinical signs of ...

Pure Red Cell Aplasia Associated With Thymic Tumors, a Nationwide Retrospective Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is the most frequent autoimmune cytopenia associated with thymic tumors (TTs). In a nationwide retrospective study, we included 41 patients (22 women, median age 62 years). At PRCA diagnosis, the mean hemoglobin level was 6.6 ± 2.1 g/dL, and the reticulocyte count was 6 ± 5 × 109/L. PRCA was diagnosed before TT (8%,

Pure Red Cell Aplasia That Developed 13 Years After Thymoma Treatment: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
A 47‐year‐old woman was diagnosed with invasive thymoma 13 years ago. She had undergone repeated surgeries, as well as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Chemotherapy was discontinued after the patient developed normocytic anemia. Bone marrow biopsy results revealed pure red cell aplasia (PRCA).

Successful Treatment of Posttransplant Refractory Pure Red Cell Aplasia Following Parvovirus B19 Infection [PDF]
Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), a rare cause of anemia limited to the erythroid lineage, is characterized by normocytic normochromic anemia, severe reticulocytopenia, and markedly reduced or absent erythroid precursors in the bone marrow. We report a 44‐year‐old male with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) secondary to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney ...

Use of Rituximab in autoimmune hemolytic anemia associated with non-hodgkin lymphomas [PDF]
The association between non-Hodgkin lymphomas and autoimmune disorders is a well-known event. Also autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AHA), although much more frequent in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), has been described in this group of ...

Red blood cell precursor mass as an independent determinant of serum erythropoietin level. [PDF]
Serum erythropoietin (sEpo) concentration is primarily related to the rate of renal production and, under the stimulus of hypoxia, increases exponentially as hemoglobin (Hb) decreases.

Pure Red Cell Aplasia and Carcinoma [PDF]
Abstract A patient presented with pure red cell aplasia, which responded to corticosteroids. Thirteen months later, a malignant pleural effusion developed, with subsequent death from adenocarcinomatosis. The reports of cases in which pure red cell aplasia has been associated with carcinomata are reviewed.
