  • Title: [Pure red cell aplasia after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation: a case report and literature review].
    Author: Li C, Han M, Feng S.
    Journal: Zhonghua Xue Ye Xue Za Zhi; 1999 Jul; 20(7):359-61. PubMed ID: 11721433.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To report a case of post-allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-PBSCT) pure red cell aplasia(PRCA) and the treatment outcome. METHODS: A patient with acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia(M2a) was treated with allo-PBSCT. His post-PBSCT PRCA was treated with plasmapheresis(2-3 times weekly) and Epo(3,000 U/day, subcutaneously). RESULTS: Reticulocyte count (Ret) recovered to 0.01 at day +131 and hemoglobin reached 110 g/L at day +154. Erythroid cells in the bone marrow recovered to 0.25, and BFU-E and CFU-E within normal range. This normalized hematopoiesis remained for over 5 months after the cessation of Epo. CONCLUSION: Post allo-PBSCT PRCA can be successfully treated with plasma exchange and Epo.
