      <Abstract>Hepatitis associated aplastic anemia (HAAA) is a variant of Aplastic Anemia that is characterized by onset of pancytopenia with hypocellular bone marrow with increased levels of serum aminotransferases after an acute attack of viral hepatitis. Several viruses are linked to this disease including Hepatitis E. The pathophysiology is still unknown however it is believed to be caused by destruction of hematopoietic stem cells. Here we discuss a young male who developed HAAA, few weeks to month after his viral serology IgM for HEV came positive with deranged liver function tests.</Abstract>
