Abstract

Immune-mediated disorders of erythropoiesis can result in acquired severe anemia, low reticulocyte counts, and bone marrow exhibiting pure red cell aplasia or ineffective erythropoiesis. Erythropoiesis can be suppressed or impaired by humoral or cellular mechanisms. In vitroinhibition of erythroid colony growth by immunoglobulins or lymphocytes can be a strong argument for the immune origin of the disease.
