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...
متن کاملAllogeneic bone marrow transplantation for severe aplastic anemia.
In vitro coculture studies were performed in five patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and their normal HLA-matched donors before and after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to determine whether the erythropoietic function of T cells is abnormal in this disorder. These coculture studies used fresh or cryopreserved marrow T lymphocytes with fresh or cryopreserved marrow T cell-d...
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...
متن کاملDeterminants of engraftment after allogeneic marrow transplantation.
ESPITE RECENT improvements in posttransplant D immunosuppressive regimens, acute and chronic graftversus-host disease (GVHD) remain significant obstacles to successful marrow transplantation, particularly in patients not having an HLA-identical related donor. These findings have lead to continued interest in preventing GVHD by depleting T cells from the donor marrow. Initial animal experiments ...
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...
