Description
Pone De Weerdt, Ivan Van Riet, and Karel Fostier report a blood disorder with an unusual root in this 2026 case report. The patient had pure red cell aplasia, a failure to make red blood cells. Such failure has been tied, rarely, to plasma cell disorders.
The 44-year-old woman grew steadily more anemic with an IgG-kappa protein clone in her blood, yet she did not meet the marks for myeloma. Standard immune-calming drugs failed to hold the disease. Treatment aimed at the plasma cells then brought a near-total response. A review of past cases follows. The report argues the clone itself can drive the anemia.
