Abstract
An 8-year-old child with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), underwent an allogen eic bone marrow transplant (BMT) from his HLA matched sister in spite of ha ving a mild cardiomyopathy. We followed the patient with periodic electroca rdiograms (ECG) and echocardiograms which have not worsened, and the patien t's quality of life is not compromised 14 years after BMT.
