Idiopathic severe aplastic anemia with a delayed response to immunosuppressive therapy: a case report

Clin Case Rep. 2018 Apr 10;6(6):1029-1032. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1517. eCollection 2018 Jun.

Abstract

Bone marrow transplantation is the definitive treatment of severe aplastic anemia; however, with the absence of this option, combined immunosuppressive therapy with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and cyclosporine A is used as a first-line therapy. This case report highlights the possible delay in response to ATG protocol in treating aplastic anemia.

Keywords: Antithymocyte globulin; aplastic anemia; immunosuppressive.
