[Histonet] Chimerism

[Malcolm McCallum]

there was a good program on Discovery/science channel or Discovery health a while back.  I do not recall if it was actually on fetus in feto (sp?), blood tests, or chimeraism.  Hope that helps!

Hi Kemlo,

>The only times I have come across chimerism has been associated with blood transfusion. The patient presents with two different, but apparently coexisting, cell populations. So my best guess to look for further info would be the National Blood Transfusion Service, or a similar body. I believe this is an exceedingly rare condition, but certainly a fascinating one, should make an interesting thesis topic.
