Background and Methods:Immunosuppression has known to be the best treatment option for patients with aplastic anemia who are not candidate for bone marrow transplantation. The best results are reported by the use of antilympocyte globulin(ALG) with or without cyclosporine.
We performed a therapeutic trial in 20 patients not eligible for bone marrow transplantation, with ALG and cyclosporine.
Results: The results of the regimen including cyclosporine were 40% response rates at six months. All responding patients at 16 months are still alive. ALG and cyclosporine
had substantial but reversible side effects.
Conclusion: Immunosuppressive treatment of aplastic anemia with ALG and cyclosporine appears to be effective and may thus be represent a treatment of choice for patients who are not eligible for bone marrow transplantation.
