摘要
纯红细胞再生障碍性贫血是ABO血型不合的异基因造血干细胞移植后常见的并发症。治疗该并发症有多种方法可供选择,包括大剂量激素、促红细胞生成素、血浆置换、免疫吸附、供者淋巴细胞输注、利妥昔单抗、硼替佐米、达雷木单抗以及减停免疫抑制剂等。在本文中,我们呈现了一个ABO血型不合的异基因造血干细胞移植后出现纯红细胞再生障碍性贫血的病例。重组人促红细胞生成素、糖皮质激素、供着淋巴细胞输注、血浆置换以及减停免疫抑制剂等方法均对其无明显疗效,最终在足剂量长疗程的艾曲波帕治疗下,患者得以康复。通过对艾曲波帕在治疗纯红细胞再生障碍性贫血中的机制的推测,我们发现艾曲波帕可能对单系造血有效,并且可被用于ABO不合的异基因造血干细胞移植后纯红细胞再生障碍性贫血的治疗。
