Abstract
Aplastic anemia (AA) is an uncommon hematologic manifestation of systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE) with significant difference in the course and outcome from other forms of acquired AA due to underlying immune mediated mechanism of the disease. Here we report a case of SLE with thrombocytopenia at presentation and later evolved to develop pancytopenia with bone marrow aplasia.
