“…Two previous reports have each described a patient with SAA, when Grave's disease developed months to years after a matched sibling BMT, in both the donor and the recipient, suggesting that immunopoietic reconstitution from the donor, along with a genetic predisposition, led to Grave's disease in these patients with SAA (Holland et al , 1991; Ichihashi et al , 1992). Another report of a 30‐year‐old patient with concomitant Grave's and SAA who was cured of both diseases by a BMT implies that immune alteration of the patient's marrow by BMT led to a cure of both autoimmune disorders (Diez et al , 1999). There are two additional reports of immune hyperthyroidism and SAA in two patients aged 30 and 35 years (Hinterberger‐Fischer et al , 1994), and in a 25‐year‐old (Todd & Todd, 1999).…”
