- Abstract
The Brazilian unrelated bone marrow donor program began in 1993 and an unrelated matched donor was found for a Fanconi anemia patient without a sibling match. An 11-year-old female recipient received FTBI (6.0 Gy) and cyclophosphamide (40 mg/kg) as conditioning. The 41-year-old female unrelated donor received G-CSF at 5 μ g/kg × 5 days, and on day 6 and 7 post-mobilization, peripheral blood stem cells were harvested. Engraftment was seen on day 19 post-BMT and she remains alive and well on day 191+. This case supports the potential role of harvesting G-CSF-stimulated PBSC for unrelated bone marrow transplantation.
