The Case Report of a Child with High-Risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Treated with Allogenic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation

Abstract

Allogenic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation could be used instead of allogenic bone marrow in treatment of leukemia in children. This 10-year-old female patient with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia received a myeloablative regimen followed by allogenic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation from an HI A-identical sibling donor. Neutrophil recovery to greater than 500/pL occurred at day 11 and platelets recovered to greater than 20,000/pL at day 13. Allogenic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation can be performed safely and may result in a rapid neutrophil and platelet engraftment, without any apparent increased risk of acute graft versus host disease.
