The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of pulmonary function tests performed before an autologous peripheral stem cell transplant (APSCT) in identifying patients who are at risk for developing post-transplant pulmonary complications. This retrospective study included patients who...

D. // Journal of Infectious Diseases;2/15/2005, Vol. 191 Issue 4, p520
Background. Human adenovirus (HAdV) infections are increasingly frequent complications of allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (SCT), especially in children. Only a few data on the correlation between immune recovery and the course of HAdV infection are available, and data on HAdV-specific...

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from HLA haploidentical mismatched donors has recently been developed for patients with high-risk acute leukemia who do not have a matched donor. After a high intensity conditioning regimen the HLA barrier is overcome by infusing a graft containing...

Hematopoietic stem-cell transplant recipients are at increased risk of developing invasive fungal infections. This is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a 17-year-old male patient diagnosed with severe idiopathic acquired aplastic anemia who developed fungal...

Summary:We reviewed medical records of 256 patients to investigate the frequency and characteristics of hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) associated with reduced-intensity stem cell transplantation (RIST) as opposed to conventional stem cell transplantation (CST); 137 patients underwent CST and 119...

Summary:The outcomes of patients who experience the failure to reconstitute a trilineage of blood cells after initial neutrophil engraftment were evaluated in 178 patients with hematologic disorders, who underwent allogeneic HCT. Of 165 qualified patients (five with primary engraftment failure;...

Summary:The clinical significance of early airflow decline after myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic SCT is uncertain. We performed a retrospective cohort analysis to determine if airflow decline by day 100 is associated with later development of transplant-related airflow obstruction (AFO)...

Summary:The majority of invasive aspergillosis (IA) in allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) occurs during the post-engraftment period. We used Cox proportional hazards regression to evaluate post-engraftment IA risk in a cohort of 217 allogeneic SCT recipients from 1991 to 1998. The aim...
