TANGELA HAD been ho pital­
ized 14 lim with ickle cell pain
cri e in the 18 months prior to the
transplant. During that tim , it was
determined that her 7-year-old
brother, Paul, w an excellent donor
candidate for a transplant. For uch
a transplant to be ucce ful, a earn­
patible ibling usually is the best pos­
sible donor.
Now a little more than a month
after the trarsplant, the doctors are
cautiously optimistic. Tangela has
done remarkably well during the im­
medi te po t-transplant period,
which is considered to be the riski t
time. There is till a mall risk of
graft-versus-host disease where the
grafted bone marrow acts against the
host' ystem.
Currently, Tangela i fully
engrafted with her brother' mar­
row. However, there i a remote
possibility that her own marrow will
return. It will take about a year to be
completely certain that he is fully
cured of her sickle cell di�.
