Popis: Early lymphocyte recovery after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is related to the prevention of serious infections and the clearing of residual tumor cells.We analyzed the absolute lymphocyte count at 20 (D+20) and 30 (D+30) days after HSCT in 100 patients with malignant hematologic diseases and correlated with the risk of transplant-related mortality, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), nonrelapsed mortality (NRM), and risk of infection.Patients presenting with lymphocyte counts of300 × 103/μL on D+30 have a 3.76 times greater risk of death in100 days. Over a medium follow-up of 20 months OS, DFS, and NRM were similar between the groups.In our group of patients delayed lymphocyte recovery after HSCT was a predictor of early death post-HSCT.
