Abstract

Allogeneic marrow transplantation offers curative therapy for pediatric patients with severe aplastic anemia. Over the past 4 decades, significant improvements in the long term outcome of patients treated with allogeneic marrow grafts have resulted from progress in the prevention and treatment of graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Here we report the outcome of 149 pediatric patients, ages 2-19 years who received HLA-matched related marrow grafts for treatment of severe aplastic anemia between 1971 and 2009.
