This case report describes a 16-year-old girl with pure red cell aplasia of 7 months duration. The erythrocyte characteristics and in vitro culture of erythroid progenitors was similar to that found in transient erythroblastopenia of childhood (TEC), a disorder most commonly seen in children 2 to 6 years of age. This case may represent the adolescent equivalent of TEC.
