Background: Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a non-IgE-mediated food allergy. In the last few years, after the publication of the consensus guidelines, with refined diagnostic criteria and improved awareness, FPIES is diagnosed with increased frequency. However, despite having a background of immune dysregulation, this complication has just been described once in the posttransplant setting, in an adult patient.

Article Synopsis
  • Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is an effective treatment for chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) in children, but it carries risks of complications and varying benefits depending on donor type.
  • A study of 30 pediatric patients showed a graft failure rate of 28.26% and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in 20.5%, with higher risks for those who received transplants from unrelated donors compared to sibling donors.
  • Overall, the 2-year overall survival rate was 77.3%, but careful consideration of donor type and post-transplant care is crucial due to the potential for significant morbidity and mortality.

Introduction: Outcomes in patients diagnosed of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph-ALL) remains unfavourable compared to other subtypes of acute lymphoblastic leukemia despite improvements in drug treatments as well as advances in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Patients And Methods: The role of allogeneic HSCT in Ph-ALL patients has been analysed through a multicentric study where data belonging to 70 patients diagnosed of this entity in different centers that received HSCT between years 1998 and 2014, were reported by the Grupo Español de Trasplante Hematopoyético (GETH).

Results: The performance of HSCT from year 2004, in first complete remission (CR) status with thymoglobulin (ATG) based conditioning had a favorable impact on overall survival (OS).

Background: In B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL), the identification of additional genetic alterations associated with poor prognosis is still of importance. We determined the frequency and prognostic impact of somatic mutations in children and adult cases with B-ALL treated with Spanish PETHEMA and SEHOP protocols.

Methods: Mutational status of hotspot regions of TP53, JAK2, PAX5, LEF1, CRLF2 and IL7R genes was determined by next-generation deep sequencing in 340 B-ALL patients (211 children and 129 adults).

Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is characterized by low numbers of peripheral neutrophil granulocytes and a predisposition to life-threatening bacterial infections. We describe a novel genetic SCN type in 2 unrelated families associated with recessively inherited loss-of-function mutations in CSF3R, encoding the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor. Family A, with 3 affected children, carried a homozygous missense mutation (NM_000760.
