Abstract
A 31-year-old male patient presented with fever and pancytopenia. He was diagnosed as a case of chronic anemia since early childhood. The etiology of the anemia was not known. The patient was transfusion dependent, and he had been maintained on erythropoietin for three years prior to admission. A bone marrow examination revealed prominent proliferation of immature and dysplastic erythroid precursors. Acute erythroid leukemia of the pure erythroid subtype was suspected. However, because of the history of erythropoietin therapy a definite diagnosis was not made. On follow-up one month later, the marrow changes had reversed to normal.
