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.
