Abstract
We report on a 35-year-old woman who underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in second complete remission (CR) of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after reduced-intensity conditioning with fludarabine and 2 Gy of total body irradiation. For graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, cyclosporin A (CsA) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) were given. On day 27 after SCT complete hematological remission and donor chimerism was documented. However, in CD34(+) bone marrow cells 28% of recipient hematopoiesis persisted. On day +59 leukemic relapse occurred. After discontinuation of CsA and onset of GVHD, complete donor chimerism and hematological CR were achieved which has been maintained for 14 months.
