Abstract
We herein report a case of severe aplastic anemia diagnosed in an 8-year-old girl with a previous diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis. We found significantly increased CD8+ and CD68+ cell numbers in her bone marrow, which can induce severe organ damage, refractory to immunosuppressive therapy.
