Cyclosporine in the treatment of pure red cell aplasia.
We present a patient with severe idiopathic pure red cell aplasia who responded spectacularly to cyclosporin after failure of corticoid treatment and cyclophosphamide. We conclude that cyclosporin should be considered a viable therapeutic alternative to cytotoxic immunosuppressive treatments in this disease.
