Young Jun Son, Hee Jo Baek, Hoon Kook
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(11):1211-1216.   Published online November 15, 2008
Purpose : Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare heterogeneous genetic disorder of infancy and early childhood. It is characterized by red cell aplasia, congenital anomalies, and a predisposition to cancer. Corticosteroids and red cell transfusions are the mainstays of therapy. We describe our experience of 6 cases of DBA that were encountered over a period of 16 years. Methods :...
