Fresh cell therapy followed by fatal coma.

H H Goebel, G Walther, M Meuth

    Journal of Neurology
    |August 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    A patient died from a rare complication of fresh cell therapy involving fetal lamb cells. The autopsy revealed a severe neurological condition, suggesting an immune-mediated response to the treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Immunology
    • Cellular Therapy

    Background:

    • Fresh cell therapy, utilizing animal-derived cells, is an alternative treatment modality.
    • The use of fetal lamb cells for therapeutic purposes carries potential risks.
    • Immune-mediated responses can complicate cellular therapies.

    Observation:

    • A 60-year-old woman underwent fresh cell therapy with fetal lamb cells from ovary, placenta, brain, and liver.
    • Post-treatment, she developed headache, fever, hemiparesis, and coma.
    • Neuropathological examination revealed perivenous leucoencephalopathy.

    Findings:

    • The patient died 3 weeks after fresh cell therapy.
    • Morphological findings suggest a monophasic, likely immune-mediated disease.
    • The condition is proposed as a rare, fatal complication of fresh cell therapy.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential dangers of fresh cell therapy.
    • It underscores the need for rigorous safety evaluations of cellular therapies.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the immunological mechanisms involved.
