Abstract

T cells were significantly associated with increased infection risk, treatment-related mortality, and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Patients with these characteristics may benefit from enhanced or prolonged infection surveillance and prophylaxis as well as immune reconstitution-accelerating strategies.
