“…Previous reports on the use of PBSCs in the treatment of SAA have shown an increased incidence of cGVHD, in some cases with a high mortality (38). In contrast, it has been suggested that the use of non‐myeloablative conditioning regimens using fludarabine without high doses of cyclophosphamide is not associated with an increase in GVHD (39, 40), with acute and cGVHD presenting in 5–30% and 25–60% of patients, respectively. In our study, despite the use of peripheral blood as the source of stem cells in patients with SAA, only 15.4% of 26 patients developed acute grades II–IV GVHD and 19% cGVHD, which was limited in all cases.…”
