Background: Bone marrow hypoplasia seems to be uncommon in anorexia nervosa. This marrow abnormality is rapidly reversible with intensive nutritional rehabilitation. The patient described in this case report had anorexia nervosa. Method: She presented with complete serous atrophy of the bone marrow associated with pancytopenia. Results: She was cured with recombinant human erythropoietin administered subcutaneosly. After 25, days, the hematological situation was normalized. Discussion: The possible advantage and practical implications of the administration of erythropoietin are discussed.
