[Successful treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia with cyclosporin A]
A sixty-year-old patient suffering from an idiopathic immunohemolytic anemia was treated by 3 plasma exchanges (with 31 exchange-volume) and following by Ciclosporin A (3 mg/kg body weight) after the monotherapy of prednisone has been unsuccessful. Ciclosporin A promptly effected a continuous remission of the autoimmune hemolysis. The mode of action of Ciclosporin A in immunhemolytic anemia depending on incomplete warm-auto-antibodies is discussed.
