Pure Red Cell Aplasia in a Patient with Cri-Du-Chat
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: The Cri-Du-Chat syndrome also known as 5psyndrome is a rare genetic autosomal disorder with the characteristic deletion of the short arm (p) of chromosome 5. To date, hematologic manifestations characteristic of BM failure have not been linked to this syndrome. Aims: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of cyclosporine to treat pure red cell aplasia in the clinical setting of 5psyndrome. Presentation of Case: We report here a patient with 5psyndrome who subsequently developed idiopathic pure red cell aplasia. He was treated with cyclosporine 1mg/kg twice a day, and achieved a complete remission, with no toxicities. Conclusion: This case suggests that cyclosporine can be used safely and effectively in such clinical scenario. Case Study Ai et al.; IBRR, Article no. IBRR.2014.003 24

متن کاملLinezolid Induced Twice Pure Red Cell Aplasia in a Patient with Central Nervous System Infection after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
Linezolid (LZD), severed as the first oxazolidinone antibiotic, was active against multidrug-resistant gram-positive strains. LZD can induce thrombocytopenia, anemia and leukocytopenia. Currently, reports on pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) cases induced by LZD are relatively rare [4-7]. In this paper, we reported a patient with PRCA twice induced by LZD.
