Autoimmune neutropenia after bone marrow transplantation.

Shastri and Logue, in their otherwise thorough review' of the laboratory and clinical aspects of autoimmune neutropenia, fail to mention the association between autoimmune neutropenia and bone marrow transplantation. Approximately 25 such cases have now been reported,'-" and a recent prospective study from Johns Hopkins" suggests that more than half the cases of otherwise unexplained posttransp...

Cytomegalovirus infection after autologous bone marrow transplantation with comparison to infection after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection was detected in 65 of 143 (45%) autologous bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients. CMV pneumonitis occurred in only 2% of the patients and CMV retinitis occurred in none. Infection occurred in half of the 40 initially seronegative patients and 47% of the 94 initially seropositive patients. Among initially seropositive patients, platelet recovery was slower in infe...
