Abstract
We describe a boy with features of Dubowitz syndrome who developed anaemia, thrombocytopenia and granulocytopenia at 3 years of age. The family refused blood component transfusion and he died 6 months later from severe anaemia and pulmonary bleeding. This is the second case of bone marrow aplasia in 38 reported cases of Dubowitz syndrome. It is proposed that patients with Dubowitz syndrome need long-term follow up, including complete blood counts.Keywords
