Background: Oxymetholone(OXY) and antilymphocyte globulin(ALG) are the mainstay treatment of choice for the patients with aplastic anemia who are not candidate for bone
marrow transplantation. We tried to compare the hematologic responses according to the severity of disease.
Methods: Analysis of clinical data of 25 patients who were diagnosed at Guro Hospital as aplastic anemia from July, 1988 to June, 1994 and followed for at least more
than 6 months, was done.
Results: Eleven patients were treated with ALG(4㎎/㎏/day for 4 days) plus OXY(1.5㎎/㎏/day for 6 months) and fourteen patients were treated wish OXY(1.5 ㎎/㎏/day for
6 months) only. Regarding to complete response(CR) rate in cases of undetectable cause, ALG group was 50% and OXY group was 0%. In ALG group of cases with undetectable cause, the CR rate in severe category was 25% and that of moderate category was 67%.
Conclusion: These data suggested that antilymphocyte globulin was more effective than oxymetholone to treat aplastic anemia and the CR rate of severe category was
lower than that of moderate category.
