Figure 1 The probability of development of early-onset eosinophlia (≥0.5 × 109/L) after allogeneic PBSC transplantation before day 100 (A) or the probability of development of late-onset eosinophlia occuring beyond day 100 (B).

Figure 2 The plots of the overall survival, nonrelapse mortality, relapse incidence, and GVHD-specific survival of patients with and without the development of early-onset eosinophilia before day 100 (A-D) and of late-onset eosinophilia beyond day 100 (E-H).

Figure 6 Proposed mechanism of pathogenesis of cGVHD presenting with peripheral blood eosinophilia. This subtype of cGVHD is induced by the activation of Th2 cytokine pathway, which is shifted from Th1 activation pathway.
