[Transient bone marrow aplasia associated with hepatitis. Possible effect of lithium therapy (author's transl)].
A 70-year-old patient developed a bone marrow aplasia following the onset of an apparently infectious hepatitis. During the course of his illness he experienced episodes of severe sepsis, that were treated with antibiotics and leucocyte transfusions. The authors suggest that lithium therapy might be of benefit for such patients because of his granulopoïetic properties.
