Breath-holding spells occur disproportionately more often in children with transient
erythroblastopenia. Acta Paediatr 2016; 105(9); 1088-93.
In recent literature, some cases of association between KS and thymoma have been reported, most of them with cytopenia secondary to the thymic neoplasm (either pure red cell aplasia,
erythroblastopenia, CD4+ lymphopenia, or Good syndrome--combined B and T cell immunodeficiency).
Transient
erythroblastopenia of childhood (TEC) can occur after viral infections.
Most cases of childhood primary acquired PRCA include transient
erythroblastopenia of childhood (TEC).
A bone marrow biopsy sample indicated isolated erythroblastopenia with no abnormality of other cell lineages (PCR for parvovirus B19 was negative).
Detection of the measles genome and isolated erythroblastopenia in the bone marrow biopsy sample is consistent with reports that measles virus can infect erythroid progenitors and interfere indirectly with hematopoiesis (7,8).

erythroblastopenia of childhood.
Parvovirus B19 infection in Tunisian patients with sickle-cell anemia and acute
erythroblastopenia. BMC Inf Dis 2007; 7:123129.
This disorder is characterized histologically by
erythroblastopenia in an otherwise normally appearing bone marrow (see Figure 1).
Transient
erythroblastopenia of childhood (TEC) is a temporary, acquired disorder that creates a normochromic, normocytic, reticulopenic anemia.
Mutations in this gene cause Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA), a constitutional
erythroblastopenia characterized by absent or decreased erythroid precursors in 25% of the patients.
Comparison of the erythropoietin response in children with aplastic anemia, transient
erythroblastopenia, and iron deficiency.
