Avascular necrosis of the hips occurred in two patients after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. One had been receiving steroid therapy for prophylaxis of graftversus-host disease, the other for the treatment of this condition. This complication has been reported infrequently, but the incidence

## Abstract Recent studies have described the possible transdifferentiation of bone marrow cells (BMC) into neurons and glia when they migrate to the brain. However, we have reported that some immature BMC migrating into the brain parenchyma after bone marrow transplantation express early hematopoi
Haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an important intervention for malignant and non-malignant blood diseases. However, HSCT is also associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, some of which may be related to iron overload. Levels of serum iron are elevated in patients undergoi
In 50 patients transplanted for acute or chronic leukemia we studied the correlation between the number of infused bone marrow cells/kg recipient body weight and the time needed for engraftment. Engraftment was arbitrarily defined as the first day of 1 X 10(9) leukocytes/l and of 20 X 10(9) reticulo
Background. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) patients frequently develop lifethreatening problems that have similar clinical presentations but differing aetiologies. Despite intensive investigation by haematological, biochemical, and microbiological means, accurate diagnosis is not always possible.
