Successful allogeneic bone marrow transplant for chronic myeloid leukaemia despite previous interferon-induced cardiomyopathy

Bone Marrow Transplantation volume 21, pages 833–834 (1998)Cite this article

Abstract

We report a patient with CML who developed a reversible dilated cardiomyopathy with cardiac failure following 10 months of IFN therapy. Despite the previous cardiomyopathy, he tolerated subsequent allogeneic BMT without any adverse cardiac events. Reversible IFN-induced cardiomyopathy should not be considered a contraindication to bone marrow transplantation.
