Abstract
A patient with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma was successfully treated by a utologous CD34(+) peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) after fractionated total body irradiation (TBI) and high-dose cytarabine and cycl ophosphamide. However, the combination of CD34(+) cell-selected PBSCT and T BI regimen resulted in a delayed immune-cell reconstitution and rendered th e patient susceptible to disseminated toxoplasmosis.
