Should cyclosporine be restarted after atgam treatment in aplastic anaemia case?
Patient: I am 69 years of age, weight approx. 59 kilos and have had aplastic anemia for about 5 years.  I have received the Atgam treatment and have had what is called a partial recovery.  I have continued on cyclosporine until about four months ago.  My recent blood test shows my platelets as around 50. I have just noticed a very large bruise on my leg.  Is this a danger sign?  Should I recommence the cyclosporine? Doctor: Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have aplastic anemia.  Your platelet count is reduced with signs of bleeding.  You should consult your doctor urgently.  You need platelet transfusion first. Then plan for cyclosporin according to your doctor's advice. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health. Don't forget to click thank you.
