Abstract
Nutritional support for children underwent bone marrow transplantation was studied by comparing parenteral nutritional support and oral intakes. During 1988-1991 a total of 15 recipients, 10 boys and 5 girls, ages ranging 1-12 years from the Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital were studied. The patients were classified according to underlying diseases into 3 groups; Group I (thalassemia), Group II (aplastic anemia) and Group III (malignancy). The results indicate that Group I required less parenteral support than the other groups. Group III required the most parenteral support. Complications from bone marrow transplantation support among the 3 groups were similar. Therefore the requirement for nutritional support depend on the type of hematologic disease from which the patient is suffering.
