Adjuvant haploidentical virus-specific T lymphocytes for treatment of disseminated adenovirus infection in a premature infant.

We report the first therapeutic infusion of haploidentical virus-specific T lymphocytes (VSTs) to treat maternally-transmitted, disseminated adenovirus infection in a premature infant. Infusion of maternal VSTs, isolated using interferon-gamma capture, associated with clinical improvement and viral clearance.
