Popis: Patients with severe aplastic anemia or refractory acute leukemia with HLA identical sibling donors were considered for marrow transplantation in Seattle. Patients with aplastic anemia were generally conditioned for grafting by high-dose cyclophosphamide (CY); those with acute leukemia by CY and total body irradiation. All patients received methotrexate post-grafting to ameliorate anticipated graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and were supported with blood products, antibiotics, and intensive care as necessary.
