Anti-thymocyte globulin treatment of marrow aplasia associated with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) resulted in haematological improvement due to an expansion of the PNH clone.
British Journal of Haematology 2003 January
A patient with aplastic anaemia developed paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) 4 years after diagnosis, with an ensuing haematopoietic improvement. The PNH clone subsequently declined, leading to pancytopenia again. Anti-thymocyte globulin had to be administered 14 years later, which resulted in haematopoietic improvement once more. Flow cytometric analysis showed that this was attributable to expansion of the PNH clone, owing probably to alleviation of its suppression by immune-mediated mechanisms. PIG-A gene analysis showed that the same PNH clone had waned and waxed in the clinical course. Our results suggest that the PNH clone might rarely be an immune target as well.
