Autologous stem cell infusion for acute myeloblastic leukemia in an HIV-1 carrier
Abstract
We present the case of an asymptomatic HIV carrier, who presented with acute myeloblastic leukemia in third relapse and successfully underwent autologous stem cell transplantation as a rescue treatment. This observation supports the conclusion that tolerance of autologous bone marrow or stem cell transplant in patients with HIV may correlate with a low viral burden and relatively good immune function.
