PG - e13856 LID - 10.1111/ctr.13856 [doi] AB - Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) is an effective alternative to HLA-matched transplantation. However, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection causes morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing haplo-HSCT. Here, we retrospectively evaluated the incidence and risk factors of EBV-DNAemia and EBV-associated diseases in 131 patients who underwent haplo-HSCT. Patients were classified into the no EBV infection groups, EBV-DNAemia group and EBV-associated disease group. Cumulative incidences of acute graft-vs-host disease, EBV infections, overall survival (OS), and relapse were analyzed. The cumulative incidences of EBV-DNAemia and EBV-associated disease were 26.9% and 33.3%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, cytomegalovirus (CMV)-DNAemia was confirmed as an independent risk factor associated with EBV-DNAemia and EBV-associated disease. Patients with EBV-associated disease had higher transplant-related mortality (TRM) rates and lower OS rates, but similar relapse rates. Overall, these findings demonstrated the cumulative incidences of EBV-DNAemia and EBV-associated disease and identified correlations of EBV infection with TRM, relapse, and OS. Additionally, CMV-DNAemia was a risk factor for EBV-DNAemia and EBV-associated disease. CI - (c) 2020 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
