Doctor, I Really Need Your Help. She Was Admitted To

Doctor, I really need your help. She was admitted to hospital and diagnosed as AIHA. She was given immunosuppressant and steroids and eventually improved to 9.2 Hb. Suddenly after a week she developed severe stomach pain and was readmitted.

They have stopped immunosuppressant and her WBC count reduced from 3500 to 250 until day before. They say that it will take another 4 days to improve. Urine was sent for culture test and they found that GNB klebsiella species. They are suggesting to give Colistin antibiotics as this is the only sensitive drug.

Pl suggest immediate measures so that she can recover fast. Now Hb is 6.6. I got her discharged yesterday. Please.

She is continuing with high dosage steroids 40 mg of DExa
