Abstract

Infection and inflammation can induce acute graft-vs.-host disease (aGVHD). We hypothesized that febrile neutropenia early after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) would increase the risk of aGVHD and non-relapse mortality (NRM). We retrospectively evaluated the impact of fever, C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration and blood stream infection (BSI) early after HCT on the incidence of grade II-IV aGVHD and NRM in 227 patients. Within 7 days after HCT, 91 (40.1%) patients experienced fever for at least 2 days (early-FN group). BSI occurred in 27 (11.9%) patients and the maximum CRP concentration was 2.57 mg/dl in the median. In a multivariate analysis, early-FN (hazard ratio (HR) 1.81, P = 0.007) and older recipient age (HR 1.68, P = 0.019) were significantly associated with the incidence of grade II-IV aGVHD. High-CRP and BSI were not significant risk factors for grade II-IV aGVHD. On the other hand, high-CRP was significantly associated with the incidence of NRM (HR 2.67, P = 0.004) in a multivariate analysis. In conclusion, although fever, CRP elevation and BSI are considered to be closely related events, they had different effects on the incidence of aGVHD and NRM. The development of early-FN after HCT may p...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
