Abstract:
ob<x>jective:To investigate the incidence and risk factors of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). Methods: the clinical data of 137 patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in our hospital from December 1, 2014 to January 31, 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence and median time of EBV infection after allo HSCT were analyzed, and the risk factors of EBV infection after allo HSCT were analyzed. Results: there were 72 males and 65 females in 137 patients, with a median age of 35 (18-59) years. A total of 77 patients developed EBV infection. The 1-year cumulative incidence rate was 56.2%, and the median time of occurrence was 55 (17-257) days. Among them, 66 cases occurred within 100 days after transplantation, accounting for 85.71% of all EBV infection cases. PTLD occurred in 3 patients (2.2%). The infection rate of EBV-DNA positive patients before transplantation (70.6%) was higher than that of EBV-DNA negative patients before transplantation (54.2%), but the difference was not significant (P = 0.202).. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the use of antithymocyte immunoglobulin (ATG), HLA mismatched transplantation, chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) and CMV infection were independent risk factors for EBV infection after allo HSCT.Conclusion:Epstein Barr virus infection is a common complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The independent risk factors of EBV infection were ATG, HLA mismatched transplantation, cGVHD and CMV infection after transplantation.*基金项目:国家自然科学基金(No:81400129);中国博士后科学基金(No:2015113010)
