- Abstract
The article focuses on a study which aims to identify predictors for the response to the treatment of acute lupus hemophagocytic syndrome (ALHS). It states that patients treated with cyclosporine A (CsA), serum ferritn was higher in CsA responders. It mentions that low C-reactive protein (CRP) and high hemoglobin can predict positive response to corticosteroid monotherapy while high serum ferritin and low leukocyute count can predict response to CsA in patients with ALHS.
