title: Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation across the ABO barrier.
abstract: Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in severe aplastic anaemia has been shown to be a worth-while procedure. A case in which a group O patient received a successful marrow transplant from a group B donor is reported. Major ABO incompatibility is not a contraindication to bone marrow transplantation.
