Abstract

Paraproteinaemia following allo-SCT is common. We analysed 91 consecutive patients undergoing allo-SCT; conditioning included alemtuzumab in 42% of the patients. Paraproteinaemia incidence at 2 years was 32%. In univariate analysis paraproteinaemia was associated with unrelated donor, age, recipient seropositivity for CMV and alemtuzumab conditioning (hazard ratio (HR) 3.93, P=0.0006). Paraproteinaemia was not associated with haematological diagnosis; disease status at transplant; varicella zoster, herpes simplex or EBV serology; reduced-intensity vs myeloablative conditioning or GVHD. CMV reactivation-more frequent in alemtuzumab recipients-was associated with paraproteinaemia (HR 7.52, P
