  1. 1One patient had received two doses post transplantation but four doses pre transplantation.
  2. 2Aplastic anemia (1), CVID (1), Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) (1) and Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) (1).
  3. 3prednisone (n = 6), ruxolitinib (n = 6), and photopheresis (n = 3). All patients were on combinations of immunosuppressants.
