Autoimmune thrombocytopenia and neutropenia after bone marrow transplantation.

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...

Thrombocytopenia in venocclusive disease after bone marrow transplantation or chemotherapy.

Hepatic venocclusive disease (VOD) is a frequent complication of bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Analysis of 13 cases observed during a 3-year period in our BMT center shows that VOD is associated with a constant peripheral thrombocytopenia and refractoriness to platelet transfusion. These signs appear in the very early stage of VOD, five to ten days before the classical signs, painful hepat...

Autoimmune thrombocytopenia and neutropenia after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

Accessible online at: www.karger.com/journals/aha Autoimmune thrombocytopenia (AIP) after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation occurs infrequently, with less than 10 cases being reported in the literature. Autoimmune neutropenia (AIN) develops even less frequently after AHSCT. We describe a case of AIP and AIN that developed 76 days after transplant and responded well to corticost...
