Abstract We describe a sustained trilineage haematopoietic response to intensified immunosuppressive therapy with anti-thymocyte globulin, cyclosporin A and recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in a 4-year-old girl, who developed severe aplastic anaemia after orthotopic liver transplantation for fulminant liver failure induced by non A-E hepatitis. The outcome was successful and allows the following. Conclusion Intense immunosuppression in combination with haemopoetic growth factors and antimicrobial prophylaxis should be considered as first line therapy in severe aplastic anaemia after orthotopic liver trans plantation.
