Bone Marrow Transplantation

Abstract

Patients undergoing high-dose chemotherapy for cancer are at a high risk of infections caused by unusual microorganisms. Previous chemotherapy, use of indwelling catheters and prior antibiotic treatment are common predisposing factors. We present a case of septicaemia due to a rare non-fermentative bacillus, CDC group IV c-2, found in the blood and venous catheter from a patient with a testicular germ cell tumour undergoing high-dose consolidation chemotherapy.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
