Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a rare disorder characterized by a reduction or absence of red blood cell precursors in the bone marrow, resulting in severe anemia. The bone marrow fails to produce mature red blood cells, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pallor, and shortness of breath. PRCA may be congenital or acquired, primary or secondary. Prognosis can vary depending on the underlying cause and how well the patient responds to treatment.PRCA diagnosis can be challenging due to its rarity, diverse presentations, and possible causes. Despite the difficulties, healthcare providers can effectively diagnose this condition by systematically evaluating the patient’s medical history, conducting appropriate tests, and ruling out other potential causes of anemia.This activity for healthcare professionals enhances learners’ proficiency in evaluating and managing PRCA. Valuable insights equip learners to collaborate effectively with an interprofessional team caring for patients affected by this illness.
