Impact Of Graft Versus Host Disease On Outcome Of Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation For Thalassemia Major - Comparison Of Bone Marrow Vs Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Grafts

Among transplant related complications, graft versus host disease (GvHD) significantly affects survival among patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT). There is limited data on GvHD and its impact on outcomes of aHSCT in patients with thalassemia major (TM). We have reviewed the incidence and outcome of GVHD among patients with TM who underwent aHSCT at our center.
