The most common nonhematologic adverse reactions (incidence > 50%) are infections (pathogen not specified) and edema. • In chronic graft-versus-host disease, the most common hematologic adverse reactions (incidence > 35%) are anemia and thrombocytopenia. The most common nonhematologic adverse reactions (incidence > 20%) are infections (pathogen not specified) and viral infections.
