One can imagine that in the group of patients taking antihypertensive drugs, namely adults, telangiectasia is seen more often but not always related to medication and mi...

ALLOGENIC BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION IN APLASTIC ANEMIA

Eighteen patients, twelve men and six women, with aplastic anemia underwent allogenic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from HLA-matched siblings during the period of 1990 to 1996. The conditioning regimen was cyclophosphamide with or without busulfan, depending on the cause of aplasia. Antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) and cyclosporine were used for rejection and acute GVHD prophylaxis, respe...

Bone marrow fibrosis in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia of childhood.

A prospective study of bone marrow fibrosis was made in a group of 40 children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia to see whether it affected the prognosis or course of the disease. Secondary myelofibrosis (SMF) was present at diagnosis in 57% of the cases. It was not statistically significantly related to the prognosis or course of the disease. Thus, although trephine biopsy occasionally provid...
