Popis: Rituximab is used to eliminate B cells as a chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against CD20, a B-cell antigen expressed on B cells. To explore the impact of rituximab administered before transplantation, we implemented a retrospective, monocentric study and utilized real-world data collected at our center between January 2018 and December 2020, and then followed until December 2021. Based on whether a dose of 375mg/m2 rituximab was used at least once within two weeks before transplantation, patients undergoing allo-HSCT were classified into two groups: rituximab (N=176) and non-rituximab (N=344) group. Amongst all the patients, the application of rituximab decreased EBV reactivation (P
