- Abstract:
- We report a patient with chronic myeloid leukaemia who underwent allogeneic marrow transplantation (BMT) but had a molecular relapse 5 months and haematological relapse 15 months after BMT. Since therapy with alpha-interferon had been ineffective he received leucocyte infusions from his sibling donor. He developed acute graft-versus-host disease and became aplastic 6 weeks later. Despite donor marrow infusion and cytokine stimulation marrow aplasia persisted for 13 weeks. Then, donors' peripheral blood stem cells were given after conditioning with cyclophosphamide and antithymocyte globulin resulting in trilineage engraftment of donor haemopoiesis. Since then, the patient has been in continuous molecular remission for 11 months.
