β¦ Synopsis
In ABO mismatched organ or bone marrow transplants recently some cases of acquired immune hemolysis have been reported. It was felt that these life threatening complications were due to immunosuppressive treatment with cyclosporin-A. A case of severe hemolysis following mismatched BMT is reported. Here no cyclosporin-A treatment was given since the bone marrow was T-cell deprived by an E-rosetting technique. Apparently T-cell purging can under these conditions become dangerous.
