Abstract
  • Aplastic anaemia is rare as a primary feature of systemic lupus erythematosus and is more commonly a complication of treatment with cytotoxic drugs. Three years after starting treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus a 22-year-old woman developed bone-marrow depression. Azathioprine was thought to be responsible and was withdrawn. The aplastic anaemia worsened despite treatment with prednisolone. In view of clinical and serological evidence of lupus disease activity the patient was given high-dose intravenous cyclophosphamide and the aplastic anaemia responded in a sustained manner. In such cases of continued disease activity high-dose immunosuppressive agents may prove effective.
