Red blood cells can be infected by various bacteria or parasites. In warmer, mosquito-infested areas, the malaria parasite may be passed to humans through the bite of a mosquito. The growth cycle of this parasite can cause massive, life-threatening loss of red cells with fever and anemia.
Red blood cells can be damaged and destroyed when problems occur in the organs such as the kidneys or liver.
