Abstract
Hepatitis-associated aplastic anaemia (HAAA) is an
uncommon variant of aplastic anaemia which may
present as acute or chronic, mild and transient or
fulminant disease. The development of aplastic anaemia
is usually fatal if not treated in time, with mortality rate
being as high as 85%. A high index of clinical suspicion is
required for the diagnosis and exclusion of acquired
forms of aplastic anaemia. Here we present a case of a 28-
year-old male who presented with sero-negative hepatitis
and rapidly progressive bone marrow failure who was
given a trial of Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor
followed by a successful allogenic bone marrow
transplant.
