Introduction: the aim of this study was to describe the clinical and laboratory performance in autologous transplants of hematopoietic progenitor cells in a group of patients in the Hospital Militar Central in the period january 2007 to october 2010. Material and methods: we performed a retrospective descriptive study by reviewing the medical records of these patients in regard to the time of discharge from hospital after transplantation, transfusion requirement, aplastic period (absolute neutropenia, severe thrombocytopenia, severe anemia and febrile neutropenia presentation ), number of transplanted stem cells, source, and whether there was or not cryopreservation. The results of the different variables measured were tabulated and stored in a database for later univariate descriptive qualitative and quantitative analysis. Results: all patients grafts functioned properly. Neutrophil engraftment occurred between 11-23 days, with a mean of 14.44, platelet engraftment occurred between 13-25 days, with a mean of 16.33, and the absolute duration of neutropenia was 5-14 days, with a median of 7.28. Conclusions: the recovery of patients was similar to that described in the international literature. (Acta Med Colomb 2012; 37: 172-176).
