Abstract: AnnotationsRed cell aplasia in children Red cell aplasia in children is a condition character- ised by failure of erythropoiesis, with normal production of white blood cells and platelets.The disorder is either acquired or constitutional (con- genital or inherited).The constitutional disorder is usually permanent, while the acquired variety is often transient, and thereby differs from adult pure red cell aplasia.As the treatment and prognosis of a child with anaemia depend on the diagnosis, the distinctive feature of each disorder is described.
