Early identification of patients at risk of death due to infections, hemorrhage, or graft failure after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation on the basis of the leukocyte counts
Allograft recipients are often unwell with significant organ dysfunction by the time delayed or failed engraftment is diagnosed. We attempted to identify factors associated with graft failure, or death due to ...

Outcome of acute leukemia relapsing after bone marrow transplantation: utility of second transplants and adoptive immunotherapy
We studied 231 acute leukemia patients relapsing after allogeneic (n = 114) or autologous (n = 117) BMT to assess the outcome of further therapy. In general, all patients in good condition were eligible for secon...

Haploidentical vs autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with acute leukemia beyond first remission
This is a retrospective comparison of partially mismatched related donor transplantation (PMRDT) and autotransplantation (ABMT) in advanced acute leukemia. Patients underwent T-cell-depleted PMRDT (n=164) or ABMT...

Differential chemokine expression in chronic GVHD of the conjunctiva
In chronic GVHD after BMT, the conjunctiva represents a target organ. GVHD can lead to severe inflammation and dry-eye syndrome (sicca syndrome). The molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. We examined the e...
