title: Supportive haemotherapy in bone marrow transplantation.
abstract: The intensive supportive haemotherapy which has to be used in bone marrow transplantation is discussed, taking mainly into account platelet transfusions. Ways to avoid alloimmunizations against platelet antigens, especially HLA-ABC antigens, are shown (use of HLA-AB homozygous donors or of cross-reacting groups).
