Cytopenia first – hepatitis second: an unusual sequence in aplastic anemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of aplastic anemia (AA) preceding autoantibody-negative autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) with successful treatment of both conditions with the same immunosuppressive regimen, resulting in hematopoietic reconstitution and remission of AIH.

Bone marrow immunophenotyping by flow cytometry in refractory cytopenia of childhood.
Refractory cytopenia of childhood is the most common type of childhood myelodysplastic syndrome. Because the majority of children with refractory cytopenia have a normal karyotype and a hypocellular bone marrow, differentiating refractory cytopenia from the immune-mediated bone marrow failure syndrome (very) severe aplastic anemia can be challenging. Flow cytometric immunophenotyping of bone ma...

Hepatitis associated aplastic anemia (HAAA) is a well documented entity. The disorder mainly affects children and young adults. Pancytopenia is usually noted within 2-6 months time after an acute attack of hepatitis. Most cases have been described in association with hepatitis A or hepatitis C Virus. The report describes, an unusual case of acquired aplastic anemia in a patient with hemophilia ...
متن کاملComparison of long-term outcomes between children with aplastic anemia and refractory cytopenia of childhood who received immunosuppressive therapy with antithymocyte globulin and cyclosporine.
The 2008 World Health Organization classification proposed a new entity in childhood myelodysplastic syndrome, refractory cytopenia of childhood. However, it is unclear whether this morphological classification reflects clinical outcomes. We retrospectively reviewed bone marrow morphology in 186 children (median age 8 years; range 1-16 years) who were enrolled in the prospective study and recei...

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a potential life-threatening hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) disorder resulting in cytopenia. The mainstays of treatment for AA are definitive therapy to restore HSCs and supportive measures to ameliorate cytopenia-related complications. The standard definitive therapy is HSC transplantation for young and medically fit patients with suitable donors and immunosuppressive th...
متن کاملFalse Negativity of Tc-99m Labeled Sodium Phytate Bone Marrow Imaging Under the Effect of G-CSF Prescription in Aplastic Anemia: A Case Report
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a hematopoietic cytokine which controls the differentiation and growth of hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow. We report a severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patient with false-negative 99mTc sodium phytate bone marrow imaging findings under concurrent G-CSF therapy. The first bone marrow imaging showed a normal bone marrow activity. However, the bo...
