Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a rare bone marrow failure characterized by a progressive normocytic anemia and reticulocytopenia without leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. It can be associated with various hematological disorders but exceedingly rarely with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). We report the case of a 72-year-old woman with PRCA associated with AITL. The patient presented with severe anemia (hemoglobin 2.6 g/dL) and a low reticulocyte count 0.7%. Direct and indirect Coombs tests were positive. A CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis revealed multiple lymphadenopathies. A cervical lymph node biopsy was compatible with AITL. A bone marrow biopsy showed medullary involvement by AITL and a severe erythroid hypoplasia with a myeloid:erythroid ratio of 19.70. The patient was started on CHOP and after 6 cycles the PET scan confirmed complete remission.
纯红细胞再生障碍性贫血（PRCA）是一种罕见的骨髓衰竭疾病，其特征为进行性正细胞性贫血和网织红细胞减少，而无白细胞减少和血小板减少。它可与多种血液系统疾病相关，但极罕见与血管免疫母细胞性T细胞淋巴瘤（AITL）相关。我们报告一例72岁女性PRCA合并AITL的病例。该患者表现为严重贫血（血红蛋白2.6 g/dL）和低网织红细胞计数0.7%。直接和间接抗人球蛋白试验均为阳性。胸部、腹部和骨盆的CT扫描显示多处淋巴结肿大。颈部淋巴结活检符合AITL。骨髓活检显示AITL累及骨髓，伴有严重的红系造血低下，髓系与红系比例为19.70。患者开始接受CHOP方案治疗，6个周期后PET扫描证实完全缓解。
