摘要
Two patients with multiple myeloma in relapse after allogeneic BMT received donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) but later required chemotherapy for treatment of myeloma-related complications. In both patients, recovery from chemotherapy-induced aplasia was accompanied by manifestations of graft-versus-host reactions. The first patient developed grade II acute GVHD and a complete remission which has lasted >22 months. The second patient developed grade III acute GVHD but died with co-existing GVHD and extensive extramedullary myeloma, These results demonstrate that chemotherapy does not nullify the ability of donor lymphocytes to mediate graft-versus-host reactions.
