Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell count, morphology and flow cytometric evaluations are used to investigate central nervous system (CNS) involvement in leukemia/lymphoma. We performed CSF short tandem repeat (STR) analysis to monitor CSF chimerism status and evaluate for disease involvement in 11 asymptomatic pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients with hemato-lymphoid neoplasms and high risk for or history of CNS involvement. Eighteen (64%) of the samples with median CSF cell count of 1/mm with 90% lymphocytes gave conclusive STR results, suggesting that this DNA-based method can be used in monitoring CSF chimerism status after HSCT with an acceptable yield.
脑脊液（CSF）细胞计数、形态学及流式细胞术评估用于研究白血病/淋巴瘤患者的中枢神经系统（CNS）受累情况。我们对11例患有血液淋巴系统肿瘤且有CNS受累高风险或CNS受累病史的无症状儿科异基因造血干细胞移植（HSCT）受者进行了脑脊液短串联重复序列（STR）分析，以监测脑脊液嵌合状态并评估疾病受累情况。18份样本（64%）的脑脊液细胞计数中位数为1/mm，淋巴细胞占90%，得到了明确的STR结果，表明这种基于DNA的方法可用于监测HSCT后脑脊液嵌合状态，且产出率可接受。
