ABSTRACT

In this case report, it is documented for the first time a diagnosis of pure red cell aplasia in a Raramuri (Tarahumara) child. Factors suggestive of impaired bone marrow function to guide the diagnosis are also described, and the importance of timely initiation of chelation therapy is emphasized, given that this strategy helps to improve the quality of life of the patient and can prevent the development of complications described in the literature.
