Letermovir Vs High Dose Valacyclovir for Cytomegalovirus Prophylaxis Following Haploidentical Allogeneic Hematopoietic Transplantation

Oral Ciprofloxacin Prophylaxis in Patients Undergoing High Dose Therapy and Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Background: Antibiotic prophylaxis is usually used in allogenic stem cell transplantation, but its use in Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) is controversial. We evaluated the efficacy of ciprofloxacin prophylaxis in ASCT. Materials and Methods: To identify the efficacy of ciprofloxacin on the incidence of neutropenic fever and its complications, 72 patients had been admitted to Talegh...

Graft-vs-host disease following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a potentially curative therapy with proven efficacy in the management of hematologic malignancies. However, it is complicated by the syndromes of acute and chronic graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). METHODS A narrative review is provided to summarize major biologic insights into the pathogenesis of these immune-mediated disorders, a...

A Mortality Analysis of the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection Letermovir Prophylaxis Trial in CMV-Seropositive Recipients of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT)

Hemorrhagic cystitis following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

We conducted a retrospective study to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and clinical features of hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Adult patients who developed HC after allo-HCT were identified from the HCT database of the Asan Medical Center and their medical records were reviewed. From December 1993 to August 2001, a total of ...
