Acquired Pure Red-Cell Aplasia Associated with an Increase of T Cells Bearing Receptors for the Fc of IgG

Abstract
A case of steroid[prednisone]-resistant acquired pure red-cell aplasia associated with a relative and absolute increase of TG [IgG Fc receptor-bearing T cells] cells is described. Removal of T cells enhanced erythroid colony and burst formation in vitro. Apparently TG cells may be implicated in the pathogenesis of this case of acquired pure red-cell aplasia.
