Stem Cell Transplantation Increases Risk of Infection-Related Mortality
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative therapeutic modality for various malignant and nonmalignant hematological conditions. The best results of allogeneic HSCT were obtained when the stem cells from a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling were used, such a donor can only be found for approximately 30% of patients.
