| Abstract: | We describe a middle-aged Chinese systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patient developing steroid refractory and transfusion dependent red cell aplasia. Oral danazol 200 mg twice per day was started together with low-dose prednisolone therapy. There was no further recurrence of anemia 1 month after this combined therapy. |
