The association between human parvovirus B19 and aplastic crisis in patients with hemolytic anemia, such as sickle-cell anemia and hereditary spherocytosis, has been well described. However, most cases of parvovirus induced-aplastic crisis in patients with hereditary spherocytosis have been reported in children or adolescents. We report on a 31-year-old female with pancytopenia who was diagnosed with aplastic crisis caused by parvovirus B19 infection in hereditary spherocytosis. It should be kept in mind that hereditary spherocytosis may initially present with aplastic crisis induced by parvovirus B19 infection in adults
