Comments on 'Skin transplantation to monitor clinical donor-related tolerance in mixed hematopoietic chimerism' by Mache et al. (Pediatr Transplant 2006;10:128-131).

摘要

We read with great interest the article in the February 2006 issue of Pediatric Transplantation entitled Skin transplantation to monitor clinical donor-related tolerance in mixed hematopoietic chimerism by Mache et al. (1) as well as the editorial in the same issue questioning whether or not grafting of donor skin should be used to measure tolerance induction (2). As the physicians who treated the reported patient, we would like to make a few additional comments. The girl had received immunosuppressive therapy (1ST) including antilymphocyte globulin for severe aplastic anemia (SAA) at our institution.
