Hi Neil and Triumphe64,
Thanks for your response.
I am sorry, I forget to mention that my son was provided IVIG also(early this year 2014) when they found a Parvovirus (which they suspect to be root cause) but still his Hb went gradually down when they reduced the Predisone dosage.
So the doctor thinks, this PRCA could be Congenital and he mentioned that we may need to take Steroids (though it has serious side effects) for longer time.
He mentioned that, after sometime, the steroids would also stops working so that his Hb might again reduce and in that time, we might need to do change of drugs(May be cyclosporine????, I am not really sure). And if he is not getting cure in all those drugs, the final chance would be Marrow Transplantation, but its not 100% assured that it would cure my Son.
So their is no cure (or very less probable) for Congentinal PRCA?
