title: Acute suppurative thyroiditis complicating second allogeneic transplant for juvenile CMML.
abstract: We describe here a 3-year-old boy with juvenile chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and monosomy 7 who underwent a second HLA matched bone marrow transplant from his sister. He developed hypothyroidism due to acute suppurative thyroiditis in the recovery phase of BMT. This is an extremely rare complication of BMT.
