Pre-engraftment BSI is still a common complication after allo-HCT, particularly after mismatched unrelated and haploidentical donor transplantations. BSI incidence was slightly higher after the second allo-HCT with a significantly higher rate of carbapenem-resistant BSI. Although pre-engraftment BSI would generally follow a benign clinical course, survival was dramatically lower during the second allo-HCT, especially after carbapenem-resistant BSI.
