CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Risks and outcomes of invasive fungal infections in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants after nonmyeloablative conditioning
The incidence of invasive mold infections has increased during the 1990s among patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) after myeloablative conditioning. In this study, we determined risk factors for invasive mold infection and mold infectionrelated death among 163 patients undergoing allogeneic HCT with nonmyeloablative conditioning. The cumulative incidence...
متن کاملCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Incidence and outcome of cytomegalovirus infections following nonmyeloablative compared with myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation, a matched control study
Nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is increasingly being explored as therapy in patients who are not eligible for conventional myeloablative HSCT. Whether these transplants are associated with reduced risk of transplantation-related infections is unknown. We analyzed the incidence of posttransplantation cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in 56 consecutive m...

Reduced-intensity or nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation (NST) is designed to induce host-versus-graft tolerance by engraftment of donor stem cells. The rationale behind NST is to induce optimal graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effects for elimination of all malignant cells by donor alloreactive immunocompetent cells as an alternative to standard highdose myeloablative chemoradiotherapy. NST ...
متن کاملCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS A long-term follow-up study on hepatitis B surface antigen–positive patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
The long-term hepatic complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in hepatitis B virus (HBV) endemic area are unknown. We examined the serological and liverrelated outcome of 803 consecutive patients who received allogeneic HSCTs, with a median follow-up period of 83 months (range, 0.5-155 months). Late HBV-related hepatitis occurred in 2 of the 721 hepatitis B...
متن کاملCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Home care during the pancytopenic phase after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is advantageous compared with hospital care
After myeloablative treatment and allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), patients are kept in isolation rooms in the hospital to prevent neutropenic infections. During a 3-year period, patients were given the option of treatment at home after SCT. Daily visits by an experienced nurse and daily phone calls from a physician from the unit were included in the protocol. We compared 36 patients...
