  • Title: Pancytopenia in a child associated with hepatitis A infection.
    Author: Walia A, Thapa BR, Das R.
    Journal: Trop Gastroenterol; 2006; 27(2):89-90. PubMed ID: 17089620.
    Abstract:
    Pancytopenia is a very rare condition associated with hepatitis A infection. We managed a 12 year old boy who had hepatitis A infection with anemia. His hemogram and bone marrow examination were suggestive of pancytopenia. Pancytopenia recovered without any specific therapy. There are case reports of severe aplastic anemia with hepatitis A infection that required immunosuppressive therapy. The present case did not require any aggressive therapy and recovered. In a young child with hepatitis A infection and anemia, bone marrow depression should be suspected. The pancytopenia may be transient as exemplified by the present case.
