Azathioprine dropped because of safety concerns?

Posted by Michael Jannicelli | Mar 10, 2024 | Uncategorized | 0 |

Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me which hospitals/centres NO longer use Azathioprine because of the risk of Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL)?

Our 10 year old son is supposed to start Aza soon but we are concerned about the safety profile, especially when Methomethotrexate is another option. We would love to know which institutions have dropped Aza therapy completely.

Many Thanks,
Daisy
