  • Title: [A trial of treatment with thymus factor (TFX) for chronic autoimmune hemolytic anemias].
    Author: Słomkowski M.
    Journal: Pol Merkur Lekarski; 1996 Nov; 1(5):327-8. PubMed ID: 9273208.
    Abstract:
    30 days treatment TFX was performed in 8 cases AIHA (autoimmune hemolytic anemia) with presence of warm antibodies refractory after routine treatment (glucocorticosteroids, azathioprine, splenectomy): After TFX treatment in 2 cases autoantibodies were not detectable, in 5 cases reaction DAT (direct antiglobulin test) was decreased. Eluate antibody level and serum antibody level were decreased, too. Decreasing amount of red cells autoantibodies was confirmed by enzyme-linked antiglobulin test (ELAT) in 2 cases. Autoantibody level measured by semiquantitative and quantitative methods did not increase in any other case. Adverse effects of TFX treatment were not observed.
