Peripheral blood counts in four subjects with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) infection and history of severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) at time points before, during, and after the infection. The last laboratory follow‐up from the time of COVID‐19 infection varied in the four patients: unique patient number (UPN)‐1 (27 weeks), UPN‐2 (3 weeks), UPN‐3 (8 weeks), and UPN‐5 (7 weeks). The last follow‐up to assess recovery and complications was the same as laboratory follow‐up for UPN‐1 and UPN‐3 but UPN‐2 was 5 weeks and UPN‐5 was 12 weeks. (A) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC), (B) haemoglobin, (C) platelets and (D) absolute lymphocyte count (ALC). [Colour figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com]
