Carbamazepine-induced Red Blood Cell Aplasia: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 2-year-old boy developed pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) during carbamazepine (CBZ) therapy. There was no history of prolonged or profuse bleeding after cuts or injury, and no bleeding from any sites of the body, petechiae, ecchymosis, or bruising. His family history of hematological disorders was negative. The child had been receiving CBZ therapy at a daily dose of 10 mg kg–1 for the last 6 months due to generalized tonic clonic seizures. One month before starting CBZ the boy’s complete blood count was analyzed due to anorexia and the findings were normal.

Linezolid Induced Twice Pure Red Cell Aplasia in a Patient with Central Nervous System Infection after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
Linezolid (LZD), severed as the first oxazolidinone antibiotic, was active against multidrug-resistant gram-positive strains. LZD can induce thrombocytopenia, anemia and leukocytopenia. Currently, reports on pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) cases induced by LZD are relatively rare [4-7]. In this paper, we reported a patient with PRCA twice induced by LZD. A 37-year-old man was diagnosed with myelody...

متن کاملPure red cell aplasia after chemotherapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma: in vitro evidence for T cell mediated suppression of erythropoiesis and response to sequential cyclosporin and erythropoietin.
Acquired pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) has been associated with various lymphoproliferative conditions but its occurrence with Hodgkin's disease is rare. We report a case of PRCA occurring immediately following the completion of induction chemotherapy in a patient with Stage IIIB nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease. In vitro erythroid colony studies documented evidence for T cell mediated suppr...
متن کاملDiphenylhydantoin-induced pure red cell aplasia.
Pure red cell aplasia is an uncommon complication of diphenylhydantoin therapy. It has not been reported in Indian literature. Awareness of the entity helps in establishing the cause of anaemia in these patients and alerts the physicians to the need of comprehensive haematological monitoring in these patients. A case of 58-year-old male who developed pure red cell aplasia following three months...
