Abstract

An eight-year-old girl with severe acquired aplastic anaemia received a bone marrow transplant from her 11-year-old brother. The bone marrow graft is firmly established, but the patient has mild chronic graft versus host disease affecting liver and skin. The indications for bone marrow transplantation in aplastic anaemia are discussed.
