“…Children remained free of infection for up to 2 years and showed an improvement in lymphocyte numbers and function. 22,23 Metabolic derangements were also seen to normalize with an increase in ADA activity, reduction in adenosine and deoxyadenosine levels and a decrease in erythrocyte dATP. [23][24][25] However, these improvements proved to be transient and dependent on regular transfusions.…”

[23][24][25] However, these improvements proved to be transient and dependent on regular transfusions. 25 Long-term transfusion therapy carries with it certain risks including iron overload, exposure to potential blood borne viral pathogens and the trauma of repeated cannulation and time in hospital.…”

“…Since then he has grown less well. Clinical and immunological details ofhis illness have been presented (12). The patient's bone marrow has remained megaloblastic despite enzyme replacement coupled with the parenteral administration of vitamin B12 and folinic acid.…”

“…If transfusions were to be administered, blood was drawn for laboratory studies before transfusion. Nucleosides were extracted from urine with cold 60% methanol (12) and from plasma with barium hydroxide-zinc sulfate (17). Pellets of frozen cells (2-7 x 106 nucleated cells or 1-2 x 109 erythrocytes) were extracted with 1 ml of cold 60% methanol (12).…”
