Asymptomatic eosinophilic colitis in a patient with previous allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for chronic myeloid leukaemia : letter to editor.

We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with a pre- vious history of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) at the age of 45. The diagnosis of CML was been made in 1988, one year before BMT. At that time, she received a course of chemotherapy prior to bone marrow transplantation from her HLA-compatible sister. Bone marrow grafting was performed with a traditional regimen of chemother- apy, total body irradiation and graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. Three years later, CML relapsed and remission was again obtained after a short course of Hydroxyurea, interferon and transfusion of white blood cells from the bone marrow donor.
