Pre-transplantation thymic function is associated with the risk of acute graft versus host disease and cytomegalovirus viremia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

CONCLUSION: Thymic function was impaired before transplantation, and was consistently decreased in 3 months after AHSCT. Patients who had lower pre-transplantation sjTREC level were at high risk of aGVHD and CMV viremia after AHSCT, low pre-transplantation CD31 + RTE was correlated with CMV viremia after AHSCT.
