Treatment of pure red cell aplasia and autoimmune haemolytic anaemia in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia with Campath-1H.

Philippe Rodon1, Philippe Breton, Gery Courouble.   

Abstract

A patient with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) progressive on fludarabine therapy and life-threatening anaemia related to immune haemolysis and pure red cell aplasia was treated with Campath-1H. The patient had sustained complete remission of both CLL and anaemia, but died of recurrent sepsis and cachexia 10 months after completion of the treatment. Campath-1H (alemtuzumab), a humanised anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody, is a potent therapeutic agent against advanced CLL and immune cytopenias. It could be indicated in the treatment of severe immune complications of CLL unresponsive to corticosteroids. Prolonged immunosuppression is a serious side-effect leading to severe infectious complication.
