background: bone marrow transplant (bmt) recipients are prone to bacterial, viral and fungal infections. bacterial infec­tion is considered as one of the common and serious complications in bone marrow transplant recipients. the aim of this study was to determine the rate of bacterial infections in bone marrow transplant recipients. methods: fifty-two blood and 25 catheter samples were obtained...

adenoviruses are recognized as common human pathogens that are responsible for a wide variety of infectious syndromes. bone marrow transplant patients are prone to life threatening opportunistic infections like adenoviruses. the nested polymerase chain reaction has provided an alternative, sensitive diagnostic method for detection of adenoviruses. in this study we developed pcr from hexon genes...

isolated extramedullary relapse of chronic myelogenous leukemia (cml) after allogeneic stem cell transplant is rare. there is a case report of a child who developed a granulocytic sarcoma of the maxillary and sphenoid sinuses and lumbosacral spinal cord mass 18 months after allogeneic bone marrow transplant for cml. he was presented with per orbital edema and neurological deficit of lower extre...

allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is the only definie cure in thalassemia and its most important complication is chronic graft-versus-host disease (cgvhd). we analysed the incidence of cgvhd and its associated risk factors in a group of 89 iranian thalassemic patients of hla-identical sibling transplants surviving at least 90 days after transplantation.in the majority of cases (39) cgvhd o...

  SUMMARY Up to 15 years ago, bone marrow transplantation was experimental, but in the recent years it has gained an important role in the field of Medicine, and it has clearly been established as a therapeutic modality for a wide range of diseases. During 1950-1955 when marrow transplant was first attempted in human, little was known about transplant antigens. Supportive care techniques such...

Background and Purpose: Invasive candidiasis (IC) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematologic disorders and bone marrow transplant recipients. Rapid, specific and sensitive test for the timely accuracy in immunocompromised patients to reduce mortality rates and prevent IC progress is necessary. We established a real-time PCR assay on blood for the diagnosis an...

OBJECTIVES Stem cell transplant can induce vasculogenesis and improve the blood supply to an ischemic region, offering hope for chronic lower extremity ischemic diseases. Bone marrow mononuclear cells are one of the sources for stem cell transplants. We sought to observe the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells transplant for treating critical limb ischemia. MATERIA...
