Stomach as source of bacteria colonising respiratory tract during artificial ventilation

PURPOSETo assess myeloablative therapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) in younger patients with follicular lymphoma in the hope of prolonging remission duration and survival.PATIENTS AND METHODSSince June 1985, 64 patients with follicular lymphoma have received cyclophosphamide (CY) 60 mg/kg x 2 and total-body irradiation (TBI) 2 Gy x 6 supported by ABMT as consolidation of second or subsequent remission. The marrow mononuclear cell (MNC) fraction was treated in vitro with three cycles of the monoclonal antibody (MAb) anti-CD20 and baby rabbit complement before cryopreservation. At the time of treatment, 34 patients were in complete remission (CR), and 30 had residual disease present.RESULTSThe median time to engraftment was 28 days (range, 15 to 46) for both a neutrophil count greater than 0.5 x 10(9)/L and a platelet count greater than 20 x 10(9)/L. Engraftment did not occur in one patient who died at 12 weeks, and three patients (excluded from the range) have had delayed recovery (> ...
