title: Oral High Dose Dexamethasone for Pure Red Cell Aplasia Following ABO-Mismatched Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation: A Case Report.
abstract: Management of pure red cell aplasia following major ABO-mismatched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a therapeutic challenge. Various therapeutic modalities have been tried with variable responses, and patient remains transfusion dependent for a long time. We report here the use of pulsed oral high dose dexamethasone for pure red cell aplasia following ABO-mismatched allogeneic transplant with complete recovery.
