Abstract:
Differential diagnosis for anemia late after allogeneic stem cell transplantation is broad. In this report, we describe a case of severe anemia secondary to pure red cell aplasia associated with human parvovirus B19 infection over 8 years after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Characteristics of parvovirus B19 infection and the immunosuppressed state after allogeneic stem cell transplantation are reviewed.

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
