Acquired pure red cell aplasia characterized by selective failure of erythropoiesis was seen in a 37-yr-old female patient with a diagnosis of chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL). Though different immunosuppressive therapies have been tried in the past with variable response, there has been no case report of such favorable response to corticosteroids alone. We report this rare and unusual case of PRCA associated with CLL who responded to steroid therapy.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
