Abstract
• Clinical and hematological presentations of 26 consecutive patients with transient erythroblastopenia of childhood diagnosed during July 1979 to September 1986 were compared with 26 patients with acute leukemia who presented with anemia and a normal platelet count. It was easy to distinguish acute leukemia from transient erythroblastopenia of childhood on a clinical and laboratory basis. In most cases, bone marrow examination was not necessary.
