説明

AUTOIMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA in childhood has been reported to have two main clinical patterns: acute and chronic. The acute type responds well to corticosteroid therapy and transfusion, but the chronic type requires prolonged corticosteroid therapy, immunosuppressive agents, splenectomy, and plasma exchangeJ -3 Evans syndrome, a combination of AIHA and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, in particular is usually refractory and relapses exclusively in chronic-type AIHA. 4 Recently, high-dose intravenous lgG therapy for the treatment of ITP has been reported, 5-7 but it has not been successful in the management of AIHA. We attempted this therapy in a boy with refractorY Evans syndrome because of the presumed common pathophysiologic characteristics of immune hemolysis and immune thrombocytopenia, and successful control was obtained.
