We herein report the case of a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome who was diagnosed with drug-induced pure red cell aplasia consequent to lamivudine treatment. The patient was admitted to our hospital for treatment of increasing shortness of breath following physical effort. Upon admission, routine blood tests revealed a hemoglobin level of 7.6 g/dL and a hematocrit proportion of 21.2%, with normal leukocyte and platelet counts. After stopping the lamivudine treatment, the patient's hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit level returned to normal. A bone marrow examination showed an exclusive reduction in erythrocyte formation. This case indicates that lamivudine can induce severe anemia without the influence of zidovudine.<br>
