Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative therapy for numerous malignant and non-malignant haematological diseases. A sustained engraftment of the donor stem cells is essential for transplant success and overall outcome. Graft failure is a rare but severe event after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. While different risk factors such as underlying disease, graft source or HLA matching have been found to be consistently associated with graft failure, other factors such as ABO mismatch graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis or infections, particularly viral reactivations, are more controversial. In this article, we review the different factors associated with graft failure.
