Abstract
The Authors describe the diagnostic, therapeutical
and prognostic features of transient
erythroblastopenia of childhood (TEC) and
report 5 cases. This disorder usually occurs
in children aged between 6 mounts and 5
years. The clinical picture is characterized
by severe anemia with reticulocytopenia
and by the paucity of erythrocyte precursors
in the bone marrow. Usually, TEC is preceeded
by a viral infection. When Parvovirus
B19 is involved as ethiologic factor, neutropenia
and thrombocytopenia are also present.
Reticulocytopenia may be absent
when the child is first seen at the beginning
of spontaneous recovery phase. The prognosis
is good. Blood transfusion is rarely
necessary. The careful observation of the
patient is the only medical support really
needed in most cases.
