Amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (AMT) is a rare cause of acquired thrombocytopenia. The pathogenesis and treatment of AMT is not clearly known. Here we demonstrate a 50-year-old man presented with the clinical manifestations of severe thrombocytopenia (7000 platelets/µl) with a marked decrease to absent of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. The patient did not respond to intravenous immunoglobulin, cyclosporine or high dose prednisone. After the treatment with anti-CD20 antibody (Rituximab), the patient's clinical symptoms and platelet counts improved.
无巨核细胞性血小板减少症(AMT)是获得性血小板减少症的一种罕见病因。AMT的发病机制和治疗方法尚不清楚。在此,我们报告一名50岁男性,表现为严重血小板减少(7000个血小板/微升)的临床症状,骨髓中巨核细胞明显减少至缺如。该患者对静脉注射免疫球蛋白、环孢素或大剂量泼尼松均无反应。在用抗CD20抗体(利妥昔单抗)治疗后,患者的临床症状和血小板计数有所改善。
