Bone marrow transplantation for chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic phase. Increased risk for relapse associated with T-cell depletion.

TL;DR: Bone marrow transplantation done in the chronic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia offers some patients prolonged leukemia-free survival, and the T-cell-depleted grafts are associated with an increased probability of relapse.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin 1 stimulates fibroblasts to produce granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating activity and prostaglandin E2.

TL;DR: It is concluded that monocytes produce IL-1, and that monocyte-derived IL- 1 induces fibroblasts to produce GM-CSA and PGE2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interstitial pneumonitis after bone marrow transplantation. Assessment of risk factors.

TL;DR: Data from 932 patients with leukemia who received bone marrow transplants were analyzed to determine factors associated with an increased risk of developing interstitial pneumonitis, and these findings may help to identify patients at high risk for this complication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of air filtration on nosocomial Aspergillus infections. Unique risk of bone marrow transplant recipients.

TL;DR: Although bone marrow transplant recipients had an order-of-magnitude greater risk of nosocomial Aspergillus infection than other immunocompromised hosts, this risk could be eliminated by using HEPA filters with horizontal laminar airflow.
