In the AML/ALL group, 57.1% of patients had documented infections, and 87.5% of patients received parenteral antibiotics. In the lymphoma/myeloma group, 23.1% of patients had documented infections, and 59.4% of patients received parenteral antibiotics (P < .05 for both comparisons).

ANC indicates absolute neutrophil count; PLT, platelet count; and ABMT, autologous bone marrow transplantation.

*

Of the patients, 6 are not evaluable for hematopoietic reconstitution and 2 are still platelet-transfusion dependent. For further details, see the “Results.”

All lymphoma/myeloma patients received 5 μg/kg per day of G-CSF starting at day +6 after autograft. Of 21 acute leukemia patients, 18 received G-CSF upon clinical indication.

P < .05.
