Hello, I'm so sorry to hear of your husbands challenges. Unfortunately I'm also not sure of the answer to your questions. If your husband is in an experienced transplant center I'm hopeful they can advise if this is GVHD and how to manage appropriately. In Seattle, one of the medications used post transplant to protect the Liver from GVHD is Ursodiol, though I had AA & I'm not sure if its used for MDS as well.
If he's still receiving neupogen, it is possible this may be taking some of the energy away from his red cell & platelet production which might explain these lower counts & why some centers don't use it close to transplant.
Antibiotics can also impact blood counts.
Wishing you all my best. This is the most challenging time until his counts improve.
