  • Title: Two consecutive courses of rh-G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells for primary marrow alloengraftment failure: case report.
    Author: Martino M, Pucci G, Irrera G, Messina G, Morabito F, Iacopino P.
    Journal: Haematologica; 1996; 81(5):464-7. PubMed ID: 8952162.
    Abstract:
    We describe herein a case of bone marrow failure in a 53-year-old patient affected by Ph1-positive chronic myeloid leukemia who received an HLA-identical AB0-mismatched bone marrow transplant from a 56-year-old sibling donor. Hematopoietic recovery after marrow failure was obtained following two consecutive courses of rh-G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood stem cell infusions. No potential risk factors associated with graft failure, excluding recipient and donor age, were documented, whereas a relatively high number of progenitor cells were necessary to overcome the host-versus-graft barrier in our patient. Therefore we suggest that growth factor-stimulated peripheral blood should be considered as the first choice for allogeneic stem cells in order to avoid primary graft failure with donors over 50 years of age.
