We report on a 62 year-old woman who developed a severe aplastic anemia requiring frequent packed red cell and platelet transfusions. Since conventional pharmacological therapy was ineffective, treatment with Cyclosporin A was started, resulting in a significant increase of leukocyte, platelet, and red cell counts. However, 5 months after the beginning of Cyclosporin A treatment, despite a past medical history not significant for clinical tuberculosis, the patient developed tubercular pericarditis. This report underlines the need for a careful follow-up of Cyclosporin A-treated patients aimed at a prompt diagnosis of possible infectious complications.
我们报告了一名62岁女性,她患上了严重再生障碍性贫血,需要频繁输注浓缩红细胞和血小板。由于传统药物治疗无效,遂开始使用环孢素A进行治疗,结果白细胞、血小板和红细胞计数显著增加。然而,在开始环孢素A治疗5个月后,尽管患者既往无临床结核病病史,但却患上了结核性心包炎。本报告强调了对接受环孢素A治疗的患者进行仔细随访的必要性,以便及时诊断可能的感染并发症。
