M Seldon, and J P Isbister, and E Raik, and J C Biggs

A fatal case of acute low-titer wide-thermal-range cold agglutinin disease is reported. High-dose corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, and plasmapheresis failed to control hemolysis. This uncommon syndrome is discussed, and current approaches to treatment are reviewed.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.
