19 children between 3 and 23 years underwent 79 leukapheres for collection of blood stem cells. In children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) and Ewing's Sarcoma (ES) we collected 6.87 x 10(4) CFU-GM/kg (range 2,65-21.7), if collections were started with the first platelet rise. In children with peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) and neuroblastoma (NBL) we gained only 1.20 x 10(4) CFU-GM/kg (range 0.09-2.24). 17 children received high dose chemoradiotherapy and peripheral stem cell +/- bone marrow rescue. 9 suffered from solid tumors, 8 from hematopoietic malignancies. 9 were transfused with peripheral stem cells only, 8 received bone marrow in addition. Time to reach 0.5 x 10(9)/l granulocytes was very short-median 31 days (12-65), in 4 children receiving more than 5 x 10(4) CFU-GM/kg 12 to 13 days, only. On January 31st, 1989 6/17 children are alive in complete remission after a median observation time of 14.5 months (3-26) after autologous stem cell transfusion, one child is alive in "no remission", 7 died with relapse, 3 died because of infections (2 x aspergillosis, 1 x pseudomonas septicemia). The collection of blood derived stem cells by leukaphereses was well tolerated even in very small children and easily repeatable. With optimal timing high stem cell numbers were obtainable, resulting in a very short duration of posttransplant granulocytopenia.
