Abstract

Rejection after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for Fanconi anemia (FA) is a complication with a high risk of mortality. We describe a patient who, following a second episode of rejection after a second allogeneic stem cell transplantation, was successfully treated with antilymphocyte globulin, followed by donor lymphocyte infusion. At three and a half years after donor lymphocyte infusion, she is alive with a Karnofsky score of 90%. Her molecular chimerism is of donor origin. Thus, donor lymphocyte infusion can be considered as a therapy option for rejection after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for FA.
