Case reports and current status of all patients

Patient No. Reason for Transplant Stem Cell Source Donor Conditioning Comments
1  Neutropenia Bone marrow  HLA-identical sibling  CY  Graft rejected; autologous engraftment with recurring neutropenia; subsequent availability of r-HuG-CSF has allowed complete response.  
Nonresponder  Bone marrow  HLA-identical sibling  BU/CY GVHD grade I; no problems at time of report.  
Nonresponder  Bone marrow  HLA-identical sibling BU/CY + ATG  Fungal infection pre-BMT; treated successfully.  
4  Nonresponder  PBPCs  HLA-identical sibling  BU/CY  Alive and well.  
5  Nonresponder Bone marrow  Single-antigen-mismatched unrelated BU/CY Acute GVHD grade IV of intestines, resolved; chronic GVHD skin; failure to thrive syndrome.  
6  Pancytopenia  Bone marrow Single-antigen-mismatched father  BU/CY  Died on day +111 of grade IV GVHD and septicemia.  
7  Nonresponder  PBPCs Haploidentical father  BU/CY + ATG + Thiotepa  Died on day +70 of multiorgan failure.  
8  Nonresponder  Bone marrow, cord blood  HLA-identical sibling  BU/CY + ATG Cystectomy due to hemorrhagic cystitis; presently alive and well.  
9  Partial response; recurrent infections  Bone marrow  HLA-identical sibling  BU/CY + ATG  Persistent quadriparesis; neurological symptoms were present before BMT. 
10  G-CSF receptor mutation  Bone marrow  HLA-identical sibling  BU/CY + melphalan  Acute GVHD grade III of skin and intestines; chronic GVHD of skin; fungal pneumonia developed after treatment with steroids; stable hematopoiesis.  
11  Partial response; thoracic granulomatous infection  Cord blood HLA-identical sibling  BU/CY + Thiotepa  Complete engraftment; no problems reported.
