[Selected donor CD34(+) cell boosts for salvage treatment of poor graft function following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in primary myelofibrosis: 3 cases report].

A retrospective analysis was conducted on three patients with primary myelofibrosis who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) at Shanghai Zhaxin Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital from 2020 to 2023. They subsequently developed poor graft function. The patients received selected donor CD34(+) cell boosts as salvage therapy. There were two male patients and one female patient, with a median age of 68 (39-69) years. The median time from allo-HSCT to the selected donor CD34(+) cell boost was 83 (56-154) days. The median infusion of selected donor CD34(+) cells was 7.67 (7.61-9.06) ×10(6)/kg, with a CD34(+) cell purity of 97.76% (96.50%-97.91%) and a recovery rate of 70% (42%-75%) . Hematological recovery was achieved in two cases. No acute GVHD was observed in any of the three patients. One case of moderate oral chronic GVHD was noted. Selected donor CD34(+) cell boosts for the treatment of poor graft function after allo-HSCT in primary myelofibrosis was effective and no severe acute or chronic GVHD was observed.
