Abstract

A 21-month-old girl with hemoglobin Bart's hydrops received bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from a matched sibling. No major BMT-related complications developed. Hemoglobin levels remained greater than 10 gm/dl for 20 months without blood transfusion support despite the presence of residual host hemopoietic cells from 2 months after BMT. We suggest consideration of this therapeutic option for surviving patients. © 1998 by Mosby, Inc.
