Aplastic anaemia is a rare complication of Acute Viral Hepatitis. This complication occurs during the resolving phase of the hepatitis or can be delayed as long as six months after resolution. Most cases reported were associated with Non A and Non B hepatitis. We report a case associated with Acute Hepatitis B. The onset of aplasia during the acute phase of hepatitis, and patient's subsequent progression to fulminant hepatitis were the interesting features of this case.
