Effect of cyclosporin-A on anemia in idiopathic myelofibrosis.
The recent report of Pietrasanta et al., describe an improvement of anemia in a case of idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF) treated with cyclosporin-A (CyA) for Psoriatic skin lesions. We have also used CyA in four IMF patients, all with transfusion dependent anemia . We report briefly the clinical aspects, hematological parameters and responses to the treatment for every patient.
