Abstract
Unrelated cord blood transplantation (CBT) has been worldwide for bone marrow reconstitution. CBT is associated with a high frequency of engraftment failure and rejection due to a small dose of graft cells. In cases of engraftment failure or rejection following unrelated CBT, retransplantation from the original donors is impossible. We report a successful transplantation with CD34+ blood cells selected from a 2-loci HLA-mismatched mother to a child with acute monocytic leukemia after engraftment failure of the primary CBT. Selected CD34+ blood cell transplantation is a useful approach for retransplantation in the setting of engraftment failure.Entities:
