Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Hematology - Year 2012, Vol 29, Issue 2
Abstract
To the Editor, Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare congenital hypoplastic anemia characterized by severe normochromic-macrocytic anemia, reticulocytopenia, a decrease in the number or absence of bone marrow erythroid precursor cells, and normal megakaryocytic and granulocytic differentiation [1-4]. Herein we report the successful treatment of steroid-refractory DBA in a 10-month-old male using prednisolone plus metoclopramide.
