We evaluated immune recovery in 67 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a median age of 40 years (4-69) following allo-SCT after reduced (n = 35) or myeloablative (n = 32) conditioning. The following lymphocyte populations were determined on days +30, +90, +180, +270, and +365 by flow associated cell sorting: CD3+, CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+, CD3+CD4+/CD3+CD8+ ratio, CD3-CD56+, and CD19+ cells. Peripheral blast count >5% was related to lower number of CD3+CD4+ (day +30) and NK cells (day +180; p = 0.02). Intensity of conditioning did not have any significant impact on the kinetics of immune recovery. Patients with normal CD3+CD4+/CD3+CD8+ ratio (day +30) and NK cell count (day +90; p < 0.05) experienced better survival than those with decreased parameters. Post-transplant sepsis/severe infections impaired CD3+CD8+ (day +90; p = 0.015) and CD 19+ (day +90; p = 0.02) recovery. Relapse in patients following allo-SCT showed an association with decreased numbers of CD 19+ (day +270) and NK cells (day +365). Acute GvHD (II-IV) was accompanied by reduced CD 19+ and CD3+CD4+ cells. Thus, the evaluation of post-transplant immune reconstitution in patients with AML might improve risk stratification concerning either relapse or TRM and remains to be further explored.
