ABSTRACT
Eighteen Iraqi patients with severe aplastic anemia were treated with horse antilymphocytc globulin [ALG] and methyl prednisolone followed by oxymethalone tablets. Twelve patients had a satisfactory response including five with full response and were alive 20-45 months after therapy. Six patients did not respond and died 3-4 months after diagnosis. Very low platelet count seems to indicate poor response. In conclusion ALG offers hope for patients with severs aplastic anemia
