Myelodysplasia is a clonal disorder characterized by progressive cytopenias. Intravescial BCG is standard immunotherapy for superficial bladder cancer. We present a patient with transfusion-dependent myelodysplasia whose blood counts normalized during treatment with intravesical BCG for bladder cancer. After finishing treatment, the patient became transfusion dependent once more. We discuss possible mechanisms to explain this case report.
骨髓发育异常是一种以进行性血细胞减少为特征的克隆性疾病。膀胱内灌注卡介苗是浅表性膀胱癌的标准免疫疗法。我们报告一例依赖输血的骨髓发育异常患者,其在接受膀胱癌膀胱内卡介苗治疗期间血细胞计数恢复正常。治疗结束后,患者再次依赖输血。我们讨论了解释该病例报告的可能机制。
