Eighteen patients with leukemia have received HLA-identical allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) at our hospital since 1981. Fifteen of these patients have been living without relapse. for prophylaxis of GVHD, MTX was used in 8 patients, and cyclosporine (CSP) together with MTX in 6 patients, 3 received multiple agents at much smaller dosage, including monoclonal antibody. All patients received intravenous placental gamma-globulin, and 16 received garlic extract. Three patients died. One, who neither received MTX, nor CSP died of hyperacute GVHD, one who did not receive garlic extract died of GMV pneumonia, and the third one died of tuberculosis 18 months after BMT.
