Abstract

In our facility, anti-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines were given to 21 patients, including 8 with aplastic anemia (AA), 3 with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), and 10 with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and IgG antibody titers were assessed one month after vaccinations. After receiving both a second vaccine and a booster shot, all patients with AA/PRCA treated with cyclosporine A aside from one, had IgG titers that were lower than the median levels of healthy controls. Even if prednisolone (PSL) doses did not go over 10 mg/day, ITP patients receiving PSL therapy were unable to achieve adequate levels of IgG after booster immunizations.

Keywords: Aplastic anemia; Immune thrombocytopenic purpura; Pure red cell aplasia; SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine.
