Summary
A boy with severe Aplastic Anemia (AA) and a girl with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in relapse have been grafted with marrow from HL-A identical, mixed leukocyte culture (MLC) negative siblings after appropriate immunosuppressive and antileukemic therapy. Both of them are well 7 and 2 months after transplantation respectively. Bone marrow transplantation should be considered in children with AA and ALL in relapse, if HL-A identical, MLC negative sibling are available.
Zusammenfassung
Ein Junge mit schwerer Knochenmarkaplasie und ein Mädchen mit rezidivierender akuter lymphatischer Leukämie wurden nach entsprechender immunsuppressiver und antileukämischer Vorbehandlung mit Knochenmark von HL-A-identischen, MLC-negativen Geschwistern transplatiert. Beide Kinder sind 7 bzw. 2 Monate nach Knochenmarkaplasie oder akuter lymphatischer Leukämie im Rezidiv in Betracht gezogen werden, wenn HL-A-identische, MLC-negative Geschwister zur Verfügung stehen.
