Hi SBK007! thank you for the thread. It was very informative and also gut wrenching.
Neil, thank you for your reply. My cousin got ATG treatment when she got AA the first time 9 years ago. The doctor (treating her) seems to think that second time around ATG might not be very effective. Right now she is on transfusions for platelets and packed RBCs. The parents based on some research article are planning to talk to the doctor about rabbit ATG since the last time she got horse ATG. But in general my cousin loathes ATG because of the horrible side effects she got last time.
So far this time around she got fever 4-5 times and has been hospitalized in the intensive care each time. She also gets Hidradenitis - kind of painful sores in her private parts. In general she is in low spirits. has gone in to some kind of seclusion for months. She doesn't talk to or see anybody. Thanks again!
