Description
Cao and Wu describe nursing care for a transplant patient facing two lethal threats at once. Their patient, an 18-year-old woman, had severe aplastic anemia, where the marrow stops making blood cells, plus a stubborn fungal infection eating into her face. She received a salvage stem cell transplant from a donor.
A nurse-led team built care on four pillars: layered infection control, wound care pairing antifungal drugs with local dressings, early watch for complications, and staged mental support. The Omaha System framed each problem and response. The graft took hold, the infection was contained, the facial wound shrank, and a severe immune reaction was weathered. A year on, she was doing well.
