  • Title: [Diagnosis and treatment of aplastic anemia].
    Author: Kleihauer E.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd; 1988 Dec; 136(12):772-8. PubMed ID: 3070360.
    Abstract:
    Severe aplastic anemia is a rare disorder in childhood. Among various therapeutical strategies bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and immunosuppressive treatment with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) have proven to be most successful. Priority should be given to BMT over ATG treatment for patients with HLA-identical donors. Patients with Fanconi's anemia require a reduced conditioning program with cyclophosphamide and irradiation for BMT. Own experiences indicate that cooperative studies are highly needed to improve medical care for patients with severe aplastic anemia.
