Late effects of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in children

Pediatrician. 1991;18(1):71-5.

Abstract

Late sequelae of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) include growth impairment, gonadal failure, cataract formation, neurological and pulmonary complications, nephropathy, hepatic dysfunction, development of secondary malignancies, chronic graft-vs.-host disease, and psychosocial stress. Lifelong follow-up after BMT is required to detect late sequelae.
