Figure 1. Reconstitution of γδ T cells and Risk for Infection.

Figure 1

Infection was defined as a positive culture or PCR for a pathogen in association with a clinical illness. Patients were surveyed weekly with galactomannan assay and PCR for CMV, EBV and adenovirus as previously described (24). Additional cultures for suspected pathogens were obtained when clinically indicated. (A) Each point represents a patient and the documented maximum γδ T cell value in the first year after HSCT. The mean value of γδ for patients with no documented infections (?) is compared to the mean value of γδ for patients with documented infections (Ο). Infections are further depicted as bacterial, viral or fungal infections. Error bar represent SEM. (B) The cumulative incidence of infection is shown for patients in the low/normal (--) or high (—) γδ T cell group.
