Abstract
- Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) is becoming a common transplantation procedure in children. However, few benefits have been reported, in particular in regard to the choice of small children as donors for larger recipients. We report a case of relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (body weight 52 kg and blood type O) who underwent allogeneic PBSCT from his smaller human leukocyte antigen-matched brother (body weight 29.9 kg and blood type A).<br /> (Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
