Abstract

A six-year-old girl with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in second remission underwent autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT). Despite normal cardiac function before autologous bone marrow transplantation, the patient was diagnosed with severe cardiac failure which was confirmed by EKG and ultrasound, showing an ejection fraction (EF) of 45%, six months after transplantation. The patient was adequately treated and periodically monitored, making a progressive improvement so that now, 62 months after the event, she conducts a normal healthy life (Lansky score: 100%) with no medication and a normal EF (61%).
