Epidemiology and Demographics

The incidence in immunocompromised patients receiving blood transfusions is estimated to be 0.1 – 1.0%, mortality around 80 – 90%. Mortality is higher in TA-GvHD than in GvHD associated with bone marrow transplantation, where the engrafted lymphoid cells in the bone marrow are of donor origin; therefore, the immune reaction is not directed against them.
