  • Title: Pure red cell aplasia of pregnancy: a distinct clinical entity.
    Author: Baker RI, Manoharan A, de Luca E, Begley CG.
    Journal: Br J Haematol; 1993 Nov; 85(3):619-22. PubMed ID: 8136286.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 31-year-old patient with pure red cell aplasia of pregnancy, successfully managed with regular blood transfusions. In vitro studies showed specific inhibition of day 14 erythroid colonies (BFU-E) using serum and purified immunoglobulin G (IgG) obtained from the patient at diagnosis (before blood transfusion). The inhibition of BFU-E disappeared when haematological remission occurred 3 weeks after delivery and she remains clinically well with a normal haemoglobin 4 years later.
