Carbamazepine-induced Red Blood Cell Aplasia: A Case Report
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Hematology - Year 2012, Vol 29, Issue 2
Abstract
To the Editor, 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.
