title: [Long-term sequelae in the area of personality and achievement following bone marrow transplantations in children and adolescents--a pilot study].
abstract: Long-term sequeales after bone marrow transplantation of 13 children and adolescents are described from a psychological standpoint. The findings suggest that inspite of the aggressive treatment by the majority of the children fundamental changes in personality or mental ability are not to prove, with the exception of: 1. children, who receive poor psychosocial support by their parents, 2. children, who suffer from a graft-versus-host-reaction, 3. children, whose mental ability after transplantation is worse than before. These children need psychosocial management and appropriate intervention.
