Abstract:
We report two cases of very rare congenital hypoplastic anemia (Diamond-Blackfan anemia) in children. Both patients were boys admitted to our Clinic as severe anemia of unknown etiology, and had been previously treated in their Cantonal hospitals. Diagnose of congenital hypoplastic anemia was set up according: anamnesis, clinical picture with dominant features of anemia, cytomorphologic finding of peripheral blood picture, according blood marrow aspirate finding and according erithropoetin level level in blood.

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.
