We report a 5-year-old boy with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) which relapsed after an allogeneic bone marrow transplant who was successfully treated with interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha). One year after starting the therapy, he remains clinically well and in complete remission while continuing treatment with IFN-alpha and bestatin. Although the precise mechanism by which remission was induced is uncertain, a GVL effect combined with a direct antileukemia effect of IFN-alpha may be responsible. Further assessment of the role of IFN-alpha in relapsed JMLL patients is warranted.
我们报告了一名5岁患青少年型粒单核细胞白血病(JMML)的男孩,其在接受异基因骨髓移植后复发,经α干扰素(IFN-α)成功治疗。开始治疗一年后,他临床状况良好且处于完全缓解状态,同时继续接受IFN-α和贝司他汀治疗。虽然诱导缓解的确切机制尚不确定,但移植物抗白血病(GVL)效应与IFN-α的直接抗白血病效应可能起了作用。有必要进一步评估IFN-α在复发的JMLL患者中的作用。
