Summary
The patient suffered from aspiration pneumonia, making it impossible to administer oral drugs (i.e., PSL, CAM, and ELT). This case shows that the efficacy of intravenous EM treatment may be higher than that of oral CAM treatment. CAM ile kombine edilmiş CS'ler (yani prednizolon (PSL) ve metil PSL) ile başarısız bir şekilde tedavi edildi. About a month after her discharge, she was readmitted for reduced platelet counts (1.1× 104 /μL) on PSL (10 mg/day) combined with CAM (400 mg/day). The platelet counts increased to 16.4× 104 /μL a week after the methyl PSL treatment, it decreased again to 1.8× 104 /μL.
