Abstract:
Aplastic anemia is a rare disease of the hematopoietic system. Although some viral agents have been implicated, the association between COVID-19 and aplastic anemia is unclear. In this way, several cases of aplastic anemia have been reported following infection with COVID-19. Importantly, we reported a 16-year-old girl with severe aplastic anemia with no history of disease following an Omicron infection who did not respond well to treatment despite supportive treatment and immunosuppression.
