| Abstract: | A 41-year-old woman had acute hepatitis A infection complicated with severe anemia due to selective erythroblastopenia and hemolysis. A mechanism involving a cellular immune reaction is suggested. The hematological complications resolved during steroid treatment. She later developed a transient seropositive arthritis. |
