diarrhoea. Hepatitis induced aplastic anaemia is a rare extra hepatic manifestation with a prevalence of 2–5% in the west and has
a fatality of 85%.The treatment comprises of administration of immunosuppressive drugs and bone marrow transplantation in
resistant cases. Here we report an atypical case of transient aplastic anaemia in a patient with acute hepatitis E infection who
