A total of 27 patients was presented and reviewed, and mention was made of two additional patients from the Japanese literature.This anemia is apparently one of a mixed group of primary refractory or aregenerative anemias with marrow pictures ranging from the classical aplastic (empty) marrow in which all hemopoietic elements are virtually absent, to a hypercellular marrow (2). The marrow in pure erythrocyte aplasia is full...References1. TSAILEVIN SYWC: Chronic erythrocytic hypoplasia in adults. Amer. J. Med. 22: 322, 1957. CrossrefMedlineGoogle Scholar2.
