Hey TonyBegg,
I have severe AA and was treated with hATG and cyclosprine back in January 2014. Everyone reacts differently to the treatment, some will respond within weeks while for others it can take months.
In my case when I got treatment, my WBC was "less than 0.1" and my ANC was nothing. By the end of Feb was when I saw any improvement (even though it was slight) with my WBC (it was officially 0.1 with an ANC of 0.02) Over the next few months it continued to slowly rise, as of my latest labs today my WBC is 1.1 and ANC is around 0.6.
In regards to all the antibiotics/anti-viral/anti-fungal, I've been on all three since my diagnosis in December 2013, and still remain on them. My doctor wants me to continue with them until my ANC is closer to 1.0; however every doctor is different. I've heard of some patients on none except anti-fungal, others who were on all of the above but taken off at an ANC of 0.5 or even 0.2.
Good luck!
