Figure 1 The cumulative incidences of documented bacterial infection (A) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection (B) at 100 days after stem cell transplantation. Solid black line, the low-hepcidin group (<50 ng/mL); solid gray line, the high-hepcidin group (≥50 ng/mL); CI, confidence interval. CMV infection was not assessable in 2 patients because of early death before neutrophil engraftment.
