HHV6 Encephalitis in Children After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
HHV-6 is a roseolovirus, existing in two distinct genetic subsets, HHV-6a and HHV-6b. Most infections are due to HHV6b. The primary infection normally happens during the first 3 years of life and the virus develops lifelong latency [1,2]. Typical symptoms as exanthema, fever, lymphadenopathy and cough resolve within a week. Secondary infections as e.g. bronchopneumia are rare in immunecompetent...
متن کاملRelationship between Molecular Chimerism and Graft Versus Host Disease after Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Background: Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is considered as a curative therapy for a broad range of diseases. However, complications such as relapse and graft versus host disease (GVHD) may be observed following BMT. Chimerism analysis serves as a reliable indicator of transplant outcome. Complete chimerism refers to the complete replacement of hematopoietic system by donor cells, while mixe...
متن کاملPreliminary Results of Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation of non-M3 Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background: Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (allo-HSCT) is used as treatment of choice for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We aimed to evaluate the prognostic factors in 2-year overall survival of patients with non-M3 AML who underwent allogenic HSCT. Methods: This is a Cross sectional retrospective study. Demographic data and study of variables such as age...
متن کاملEthics of Tissue and Stem Cell Transplantation
Tissue and cell transplantation are regarded as a popular procedure in clinical sciences, prospecting a new horizon for several incurable diseases. Along with its usefulness, many ethical concerns accompany this development. The ethical issue of organ transplant is unique to the source used which includes: living related, living unrelated, cadaveric, and xenotransplant. Obtaining organs has a s...
