Abstract

Abstract A case of aplastic anemia with a 16-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is described. The diagnosis of aplastic anemia was established by bone marrow biopsy. Aplastic anemia is an extremely rare complication of SLE. The pathogenesis of aplastic anemia associated with SLE remains to be clarified.
