Although CD34 cell dose is known to influence outcome of peripheral
stem cell- and/or T-cell-depleted transplantation, such data on
unmanipulated marrow transplantation are scarce. To study the influence
of CD34+ cell dose on hematopoietic reconstitution and
incidence of infections after bone marrow transplantation, we
retrospectively analyzed 212 patients from January 1994 to August 1999 who received a transplant of an unmanipulated graft from an
HLA-identical sibling donor. Median age was 31 years; 176 patients had
hematologic malignancies. Acute graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis
consisted mainly in cyclosporin associated with methotrexate
(n = 174). Median number of bone marrow nucleated cells and
CD34+ cells infused were 2.4 × 108/kg and
3.7 × 106/kg, respectively. A CD34+ cell
dose of 3 × 106/kg or more significantly influenced
neutrophil (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.37, P = .04),
monocyte (HR = 1.47, P = .02), lymphocyte (HR = 1.70, P = .003), erythrocyte (HR = 1.77, P = .0002), and platelet (HR = 1.98,
P = .00008) recoveries. CD34+ cell dose
also influenced the incidence of secondary neutropenia (HR = 0.60,
P = .05). Bacterial and viral infections were not influenced by CD34 cell dose, whereas it influenced the incidence of
fungal infections (HR = 0.41, P = .008). Estimated
180-day transplantation-related mortality (TRM) and 5-year survival
were 25% and 56%, respectively, and both were highly affected by
CD34+ cell dose (HR = 0.55, P = .006 and
HR = 0.54, P = .03, respectively). Five-year survival
and 180-day TRM were, respectively, 64% and 19% for patients
receiving a CD34+ cell dose of 3 × 106/kg or
more and 40% and 37% for the remainders. In conclusion a
CD34+ cell dose of 3 × 106/kg or more
improved all hematopoietic recoveries, decreased the incidence of
fungal infections and TRM, and improved overall survival.
