The Medical Journal of Australia
|August 25, 1979
Summary
Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is effective for severe aplastic anemia. Major ABO blood group incompatibility between donor and recipient does not prevent successful bone marrow transplants.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Immunology
- Transplantation
Background:
- Severe aplastic anemia is a life-threatening condition.
- Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a potential curative treatment.
- ABO blood group compatibility is typically considered crucial for BMT.
