A
The donor of bone marrow has numerous punctures beneath the skin through the bone into the marrow. These areas usually cause the donor considerable discomfort for the first few days after the procedure. The risk for infection is no greater than with any invasive procedure performed on an immunocompetent person. The donor has usually undergone extensive psychological assess-ment and counseling before he or she agrees to donate. The procedure is not associated with an increased risk for leukemia.
