Today, HSCT is considered a well-established, effective and promising means of therapy for various malignant and non-malignant medical conditions, both in chil...
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...

With effective surveillance and timely treatment using anti-viral therapy, morbidity and mortality associated with CMV reactivation can be reduced. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the incidence and mor...
متن کاملHerpes zoster after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
BACKGROUND The autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation procedure involves immunosuppression of the patient. Thus, the patient has an elevated risk for several diseases, such as infections with the varicella-zoster virus. Prevention protocols have been proposed based on the use of acyclovir from the first day of conditioning, and maintaining this drug for 30-100 days after the procedu...
متن کاملImmune reconstitution after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has proved to be an effective treatment for certain hematologic malignancies. However, relapse rates are high during the first year after transplantation. These relapses are attributed to the failure of high-dose chemotherapy to eradicate minimal residual malignant disease. In allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the higher antit...
