Clinical significance of pre-transplant circulating CD3+CD4+CD161+ cell frequency on the occurrence of neutropenic infections after allogeneic stem cell transplantation
Few studies have been performed to identify factors that are associated with an increased risk of infections during the neutropenic period in patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). The aim of this study was to identify the host immune cells responsible for infections before engraftment.
