Introduction . Infections are among the most common complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Aim — to provide a literature review on main characteristics of infectious allogenic transplantation and risk factors for their development. Main findings Apart from direct such as neutropenia, hypogammaglobulinemia, lymphopenia, there indirect transplant-related condition...

post-remission treatment in patients with acute myeloid leukemia is still controversial. one potent choice for patients with no donor available is autologous stem cell transplantation. the median follow-up period was 18 months and the median age was 26 years old. in the review of 116 recently diagnosed aml patients (except aml- m3) who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation, 72.4% of pa...

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative treatment for many life-threatening diseases. Due to difficulty of finding an HLA-identical donor, from a haploidentical donor has become frequent alternative. This option associated with higher risk graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In this article, we present current view on pathogenesis, and prevention GVHD report clinic...

purpose: to report the outcomes of conjunctival-limbal autograft (clau) in patients with unilateral total limbal stem cell deficiency (lscd) emphasizing surgical problems, complications, and their management. methods: in this prospective interventional case series, clau combined with amniotic membrane transplantation as a graft was performed on 26 patients with unilateral total lscd due to chem...

BACKGROUND Allogeneic and autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation are established treatment options for haematological malignancies and may possibly be employed to treat a range of genetic and autoimmune diseases. CASE PRESENTATION We report two patients who developed an acute myelitis within their thoracic spinal cord after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Myelitis in these ...

Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia is a rare event and the prognosis is poor. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is recently being reported as an effective treatment. We present a young patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia who developed myelodysplastic syndrome 52 months after complete remission. She underwent allogeneic peripheral bl...

BACKGROUND The role of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in post-remission management of children with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia remains controversial. In the multi-center AML-BFM 98 study we prospectively evaluated the impact of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in children with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia in first complete remission. DESIGN AND METHODS HLA-typed patients w...
