Abstract
Since no data are available on lymphocyte recovery after double transplant for multiple myeloma (MM), four consecutive MM patients submitted to double stem cell transplantations were studied. Lymphocyte subpopulations were st udied before and 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days after first and second transp lantation. No statistical differences were observed in immunologic recovery after first and second transplants, hematologic recovery, rate of sepsis, supportive care, days of fever and hospitalization.
