Abstract

An 8-year-old child with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), underwent an allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) from his HLA matched sister in spite of having a mild cardiomyopathy. We followed the patient with periodic electrocardiograms (ECG) and echocardiograms which have not worsened, and the patient's quality of life is not compromised 14 years after BMT.
