Thumbs down AA Relapse?

Hello,


I really need your input about what is going on.

My husband diagnosed AA in June 2008, ATG treatment, stoped cyclosporine last January.

On March 12th his CBC was:

RBC - 4.06
Hb - 13.9
WBC - 3.8
Platelets - 151

Today CBC:
Hb - 13.8
WBC - 4.5
Platelets - 97

His doctor recommened he will be tested in 5 weeks and then, he may be on cyclosporine again.
Doctor mentioned that "some patients become cyclosporine dependent"
Is it true?

His Cycloporine started with 300 mg/day for 6 weeks and then 1 year tapping. I think he should be on cyclosporine more time.

Now I'm afraid. I'm really afraid.

Can this be a relapse?
If so, to be on cyclosporine again is enough or he'll be again in hospital and have ATG?

Please help me so I can help him.

Thank you

Paula
