allogenic bone marrow transplantation in aplastic anemia
Authors
abstract
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, respectively. eleven patients are alive (61 %) and seven (39%) died. twelve patients developed acute gvhd. we found an inverse relationship between the incidence of acute gvhd and the number of units of transfused packed cells and platelets before bmt (p 1000, plt> 100000) after bmt was inversely related to the total number of cells transplanted (p<0.05).

Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) after high-dose, marrow-ablative chemoradiotherapy has been established as the treatment of choice for various hematologic, neoplastic, and congenital disorders. The most common type of marrow graft is an allogeneic one from a sibling donor who has compatible human leukocyte antigen (HLA). Only 30% of patients requiring allogeneic BMT have an HLA-com...

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...

Bone marrow transplants for severe aplastic anemia were first performed in the 1970s. Transplant regimens, supportive care, and patient selection have changed substantially since then. Our objective was to determine the impact of these changes on transplant outcome. We studied 1,305 recipients of HLA-identical sibling transplants for aplastic anemia between 1976 and 1992, reported to the IBMTR ...

The International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry reported experience from 179 transplant teams worldwide on patients treated with bone marrow transplantation for severe aplastic anemia. The cohort consisted of 470 patients (283 male, 187 female), mean age 20 years, who received an HLA-identical sibling bone marrow transplant for aplastic anemia between 1988 and 1992. The etiology of aplastic a...

Blood and bone marrow granulocyte colony forming units (CFUc) were assayed in 46 patients with aplastic anemia, and the serum was examined for its inhibitory action on normal CFUc growth. All patients showed a gross reduction in colonies and clusters in incidence and absolute number in the bone marrow and blood. Two proliferative abnormalities of CFUc in aplastic anaemia were identified: a sign...
