Summary. A 38–year‐old female presented with moderate anaemia and a leucoerythroblastic blood film. Subsequent investigation showed myelofibrosis in cellular phase. Her haemoglobin quickly and spontaneously recovered with concurrent serological evidence of recent parvovirus B19 infection. This is the first report in the literature of parvovirus causing red cell aplasia in myelofibrosis.
