Popis: Here we presented a case of a 19-month-old boy who developed severe aplastic anemia postacute hepatitis. He was treated successfully with the umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) infusion and cyclosporine A (CsA). The boy achieved both hematopoietic recovery and normal lymphocyte proportion. So far, his condition still remains stable. To our knowledge, there is a rare previous report on the utility of MSCs infusion for the treatment of hepatitis-associated aplastic anemia (HAAA). Considering the efficacy, safety, and strong operability, particularly for pediatric patient, the infusion of UC-MSCs combined with CsA could be an effective alternative for the treatment of HAAA.
