“…Le diagnostic positif repose sur l′étude du frottis médullaire qui relève une franche hypoplasie de la lignée érythroïde coexistant avec une cellularité normale des autres lignées. La biopsie ostéomédullaire, geste invasif, n′est pas nécessaire pour établir le diagnostic [1–5]. Les étiologies des EBP acquises sont multiples.…”

L’érythroblastopénie induite par la grossesse est une entité pathologique exceptionnelle dont seuls quelques cas isolés ont été décrits dans la littérature anglaise. L'objectif de ce travail est d'analyser les caractéristiques de cette pathologie extrêmement rare à travers la description d'un nouveau cas d’érythroblastopénie induite par la grossesse, et à travers l’étude des 17 cas antérieurement rapportés.

The aim of this study was to characterize the syndrome of pure red-cell aplasia (PRCA) secondary to pregnancy. All published cases of PRCA induced by pregnancy were reviewed. Additionally, we reported a patient who developed PRCA on three occasions; two were triggered by pregnancy and one after medroxyprogesterone administration. Ten patients with 13 pregnancy-induced PRCA episodes were reported. The PRCA occurred at any gestational age. All patients received blood transfusions, and six of them were treated corticosteroids. The PRCA resolved in all subjects postpartum. Five women had subsequent pregnancies; three were complicated by PRCA, one was normal, and one had spontaneous abortion without PRCA. One subject developed a PRCA after long-term exposure to medroxyprogesterone. Infant blood values were normal in the nine reported cases. Pregnancy-induced PRCA is a self-limited syndrome with a high risk for relapse during subsequent pregnancies. It can be managed by blood transfusions. Progestins might cause PRCA in these women.
