Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia Due to Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Treated with Fludarabine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To report a case of autoimmune thrombocytopenia due to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treated with fludarabine. CASE SUMMARY: A 68-year-old white woman with CLL was treated with oral chlorambucil. She subsequently presented with severe autoimmune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP). Intravenous gammaglobulin was administered without response, and a therapeutic splenectomy produced only a temporary response, with platelets reaching 65 x 10(3)/mm(3). Four weeks later, the platelet level was below 10 x 10(3)/mm(3). At that time, the woman was treated with fludarabine. The platelet count 4 weeks later was normal (270 x 10(3)/mm(3)) and has been sustained for over 22 months. DISCUSSION: Fludarabine has been reported to be causative in the onset of autoimmune cytopenias with CLL. Our case cautiously suggests fludarabine as a potential treatment for cases of CLL-associated ITP refractory to standard therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Fludarabine could be considered as treatment of ITP in CLL refractory to standard treatment.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
