Seven-years post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation pure red cell aplastic anemia cured with daratumumab: A case report and review of literature

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is currently the only viable method of curing patients with acute myeloid leukaemia. In 30% to 50% of patients, donors and recipients have some level of ABO blood group incompatibility. ABO blood group incompatibility can cause antibodies against the donor's red blood cells to persist in the recipient's body, resulting in a delay of several months in the recovery of red blood cells. A number of different treatments have been reported for post-transplant pure red cell aplastic anaemia (PRCA), such as plasmapheresis, donor lymphocyte infusions, anti-thymocyte globulin, rituximab and steroids.
