Letermovir improves the outcome of allogenic stem cell transplantation with anti-thymocyte globulin against acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes [PDF]
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a serious side effect of allogenic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) reduces GVHD but raises the risk of infections following allo-SCT.
