Late-Onset Cerebral Toxoplasmosis After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
BACKGROUND Toxoplasmosis is an uncommon but potentially fatal complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Post-transplant toxoplasmosis is often a reactivation of prior infection and typically occurs within the first 6 months of transplant. Herein, we report that cerebral toxoplasmosis may occur 22 months after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantat...
متن کاملGeneralized vitiligo after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
Sir, Vitiligo is a common, depigmenting disorder characterized by well-circumscribed cutaneous macules devoid of melanocytes on the epidermis. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT), which has significant therapeutic benefits in haematologic disorders, such as leukaemia and aplastic anaemia, provides convincing evidence for the role of the immune system in some autoimmune diseases (1). In this repor...

A 1 3-yr-old male with acute myelogenous therapy. Then, 53 yr later, he developed leukemia was treated with various chemoan extramedullary relapse with a chlotherapy regimens for 3 yr and then underroma of his maxillary sinus. This case ilwent an allogeneic bone marrow translustrates the need for prolonged followup plantation. The donor marrow was sucof transplant recipients and suggests that c...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus 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...
متن کاملAntibody-mediated marrow failure after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
Marrow graft failure observed in association with histocompatibility differences between donor and recipient is often attributed to rejection mediated by host-derived cytolytic T lymphocytes. The data presented in this report indicate that persistent host antibodies specific for donor antigen may also mediate graft failure, either by antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), or comp...
