Hepatitis‐associated aplastic anaemia treated successfully with antilymphocyte globulin

Aplastic anaemia may occur following an acute attack of hepatitis. This is a rare condition, which if not recognized and promptly treated, may be fatal. Antilymphocyte globulin and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation have been used in the treatment of this condition. We report the case of a young man who developed severe aplastic anaemia following nonviral hepatitis.
