Abstract

Reports of epoetin-associated pure red-cell aplasia from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and from the manufacturers of Eprex, Epogen and Neorecormon were obtained and analyzed. The results indicate a reduction of more than 80 percent in the incidence of pure red-cell aplasia due to Eprex.
