Tuberculosis is one of the most common infections worldwide. It has been associated with some hematologic disorders; however, pure red cell aplasia or autoimmune hemolytic anemia is rarely reported. We describe the case of a 68-year-old woman with pulmonary tuberculosis accompanied by pure red cell aplasia and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. These hematologic disorders were improved by treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. This case suggests that physicians should consider the possibility of tuberculosis as a cause of pure red cell aplasia.
结核病是全球最常见的感染性疾病之一。它与一些血液系统疾病有关;然而,纯红细胞再生障碍或自身免疫性溶血性贫血鲜有报道。我们描述了一例68岁女性,患有肺结核并伴有纯红细胞再生障碍和自身免疫性溶血性贫血。通过治疗肺结核,这些血液系统疾病得到了改善。该病例提示医生应考虑结核病作为纯红细胞再生障碍病因的可能性。
