A 15-year-old boy with Fanconi's anaemia, who required four units of blood each month, received a bone marrow graft from his 9-year-old brother, who has HLA identical and compatible on mixed lymphocyte reaction. Considerable immunosuppression was used and bacterial infection was prevented by vigorous decontamination in a Vickers-Trexler isolator. After the graft the patient's blood counts remained satisfactory for nine months, but it took six months before qualitative immune function was normal.

D007165 Immunosuppression Therapy Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.

D005199 Fanconi Anemia Congenital disorder affecting all bone marrow elements, resulting in ANEMIA; LEUKOPENIA; and THROMBOPENIA, and associated with cardiac, renal, and limb malformations as well as dermal pigmentary changes. Spontaneous CHROMOSOME BREAKAGE is a feature of this disease along with predisposition to LEUKEMIA. There are at least 7 complementation groups in Fanconi anemia: FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, and FANCL.
