Abstract:
We describe a case of aplastic anemia with severe thrombocytopenia in a patient affected by chronic active hepatitis C treated with interferon. The hematologic alterations did not disappear after suspension of interferon or after the ensuing steroid treatment. Administration of cyclosporin markedly improved the hematologic parameters and serum transaminase levels.
