  • Title: Anti-lymphocyte globulin therapy in aplastic anaemia--a university hospital experience.
    Author: Leong KW, Teh A, Bosco JJ, Jayaranee S, Sadat U.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 1995 Jun; 50(2):158-61. PubMed ID: 7565186.
    Abstract:
    Antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) was given every other day for 5 doses with platelet transfusions immediately following ALG administration in 6 patients with aplastic anaemia. Four patients responded and 3 durable remissions were achieved. One patient relapsed and further treatment with anti-thymocyte globulin and cyclosporin also failed. One patient died of Flavobacterium septicaemia 6 days after completion of ALG. Our data suggests that using an alternate day regimen, a response rate similar to a daily regimen can be obtained.
