Comparison of matched-sibling donor BMT and unrelated donor BMT in children and adolescent with acquired severe aplastic anemia
From January 1991 to March 2007, 61 children and adolescent with acquired severe aplastic anemia received BMT in our institutions. We retrospectively compared the outcome of 30 cases of matched-sibling donor B...

Relationship between tacrolimus blood concentrations and clinical outcome during the first 4 weeks after SCT in children
The relationship between tacrolimus concentration and acute GVHD is not well known, with few published data available for lower target levels. We hypothesized that lower levels of tacrolimus would correlate wi...
