A 62-year-old man and a 64-year-old woman presented to our institution with acquired haemophilia A. They both developed life-threatening bleeding. Immunoadsorption using protein A columns was used to rapidly lower factor VIII inhibitor levels. Immunosuppression with steroids and the anti-CD20 antibody, rituximab, was instituted. Yet their effects were either partial or complicated by an early relapse. Repetitive cyclophosphamide administration led to a sustained immunological response. While immunoadsorption appears effective and safe to lower factor VIII inhibitor levels, it seems that further preferably randomised controlled trials are needed to establish the value of rituximab versus the standard immunosuppressive regime comprising cyclophosphamide.
一名62岁男性和一名64岁女性因获得性血友病A前来我院就诊。他们均出现了危及生命的出血情况。使用蛋白A柱进行免疫吸附以迅速降低凝血因子VIII抑制物水平。采用类固醇和抗CD20抗体利妥昔单抗进行免疫抑制治疗。然而,其效果要么是部分有效,要么因早期复发而变得复杂。重复给予环磷酰胺导致了持续的免疫反应。虽然免疫吸附在降低凝血因子VIII抑制物水平方面似乎有效且安全,但似乎需要进一步开展更理想的随机对照试验,以确定利妥昔单抗相对于包含环磷酰胺的标准免疫抑制方案的价值。
