Abstract

A 24-year-old female came to our clinic because of painful lesions on her face and trunk. She has been suffered from refractory aplastic anemia for 10 years. She presented pustules, nodules and inflammatory sinus tract with pus on her face and trunk 5 months after took Stanozolol. What’s worse is that her aplastic anemia continued to deteriorate, so she needed autologous stem cell transplantation. We used topical photodynamic therapy mediated with 5-aminolevulinic acid for her severe inflammatory acne. After five sessions, all of the inflammatory acne had been cleared to satisfy the needs of transplantation.
