Data from the placebo group indicated that either mean daily weight gain < or = 7.5 g/day before study entry or haematocrit < or = 50% at birth was...

Hence, a large population of patients with aplastic anaemia undergo this treatment. In patients who have responded to the first course of ATG, and have had a relapse, a second course of ATG can be administered with reasonable r...
