Pure red cell aplasia and adult-onset Still's disease.
Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) associated with adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is very rare. In this report a 28-year-old woman was admitted with fever, skin rash, jaundice and anemia. She was diagnosed as having AOSD with PRCA by bone marrow examination. Treatment with high-dose prednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin resulted in remission of the PRCA and a good response of the AOSD.
