I hadn't read about the higher chances of negative bone marrow effects with rabbit ATG. Good to know.
In the past, after a non-response to horse ATG, doctors often weighed the choice between a second round of horse or a first round of rabbit. Campath offers another alternative, and perhaps the preferred choice in many cases, as for your mother.
