Cyclosporin treatment for aplastic anemia: a case report demonstrating a second response to second exposure to cyclosporin

Am J Hematol. 1987 Mar;24(3):307-9. doi: 10.1002/ajh.2830240311.

Abstract

Cyclosporin has been used in the treatment of aplastic anemia, often in combination with other drugs, making it difficult to make a clear distinction between the effects of cyclosporin and those of other treatments. This report demonstrates a clear response of a patient with aplastic anemia to single drug cyclosporin therapy.
