Division of Pediatric Stem Cell Transplantation, Department of Pediatrics, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, USA
J Pediatr Hematol Oncol 30:396-400. 2008..Hemophagocytosis was most likely owing to maternal graft-versus-host disease, as perforin-expressing CD8 T cells, presumably of maternal origin, were prominent in the bone marrow and there was no concurrent severe infection...
