    AbstractHemolytic anemia and pure red cell aplasia are rare hematological complications of hepatitis B virus infection.

Rapid recovery was observed with conservative management. Hemoglobin returned to baseline within three months. As the clinical features of hemolytic anemia associated with hepatitis B virus have not yet been elucidated, we conducted a systematic review and present an analysis of the 20 reported cases, including our present case.
