Allogeneic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia in first complete remission: are we closer to knowing who needs it?

abstract：:C. difficile infection (CDI), the most common cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea, is very frequent after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Recent publications suggest it affects between 6 % and 20 % of HSCT recipients during the first year and is more common following allogeneic transplant (allo-HSCT). ...
