Abstract
A cohort of 201 autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplanted (BMT) patients were included for studying the evolution of circulating tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) by means of repeated plasma determinations. IL-6 levels were high during major transplant-related complications (TRC) or severe graft vs host disease (GVHD). High levels of TNF-alpha seemed to be associated with chronic GVHD but not with acute GVHD or TRC.Entities:
