Abstract
Summary: A case of anaemia typus Josephs‐Diamond‐Blackfan in a 4 year old girl has been described. She has been dependent on regular blood transfusions with short intervals, most frequently of 4–6 weeks. The clinical features were typical, with a marked reticulocytopenia as the most striking haematological finding. After two courses with ACTH treatment was a marked increase in the reticulocyte count, both times occurring on the 9th day after starting the treatment, with a duration of several weeks, accompanied by a spontaneous remission of the blood values, and thus the intervals between the transfusions have been prolonged for 15 weeks.
