Pre-engraftment bloodstream infection after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplant: 18-year trends in aetiology, resistance and mortality.

Bloodstream infections (BSI) are frequent complications after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). This study reports data on pre-engraftment BSI in years 2016-2021 and analyses changes in incidence, aetiology, resistance and mortality compared with two previous periods (2004-2009 and 2010-2015). In years 2004-2021, 1364 patients received HCT.
