Occult invasive aspergillosis infection following multivisceral transplantation
Patients undergoing multivisceral transplantation are particularly susceptible to post-operative infections due to immunosuppression and the inclusion of bowel in the transplanted graft. These patients typically receive broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antifungal agents as prophylaxis and treatment. However, evidence for this is limited due to the small number of patients undergoing the procedu...
متن کاملMyeloid progenitors protect against invasive aspergillosis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Myelotoxic treatments for oncologic diseases are often complicated by neutropenia, which renders patients susceptible to potentially lethal infections. In these studies of murine hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), cotransplantation of lineage-restricted progenitors known as common myeloid progenitors (CMP) and granulocyte-monocyte progenitors (GMP) protects against death following ...
متن کاملIntestinal and multivisceral transplantation
Intestinal transplantation has shown exceptional growth over the past 10 years. At the end of the 1990's, intestinal transplantation moved out of the experimental realm to become a routine practice in treating patients with severe complications related to total parenteral nutrition and intestinal failure. In the last years, several centers reported an increasing improvement in survival outcomes...
متن کاملMultivisceral intestinal transplantation: surgical pathology.
We report the diagnostic surgical pathology of two children who underwent multivisceral abdominal transplantation and survived for 1 month and 6 months. There is little relevant literature, and diagnostic criteria for the various clinical possibilities are not established; this is made more complicated by the simultaneous occurrence of more than one process. We based our interpretations on conv...
متن کاملDetecting "occult" viral infection after marrow transplantation.
In this issue of the Journal, BARBERÁ et al. [1] report on the detection of previously unsuspected Cytomegalovirus (CMV) pulmonary infection in the lungs of marrow transplant recipients who died with evidence of diffuse alveolar damage [1]. Detection of such "occult" infections is of great importance and would have major implications for the care of marrow recipients. Viral pneumonia has been t...
