The issue of a possible association between Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome and diabetes has been debated for many years. This review updates the Italian Shwachman-Diamond registry, confirming our previous findings that suggest that these patients might be at higher risk of developing diabetes, particularly type 1. These data are of relevance in the clinical follow-up of patients in everyday life, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and timely intervention.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study assessed COVID-19 mortality rates among patients receiving Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for blood cancers, comparing outcomes across three years (2020, 2021, 2022) during the Omicron period.
  • - There was a significant decline in COVID-19-related mortality: from 43.6% in 2020 to 7.5% in 2022, indicating improvement over time, with year of infection identified as a key predictor of survival.
  • - Although mortality decreased, CAR T-cell recipients still face a higher risk of complications compared to the general population, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and preventive measures during their treatment.

  • Nocardiosis is a serious infection that can occur after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), and this study aimed to identify its risk factors and the impact of certain preventive treatments.
  • A review of 64 cases of nocardiosis and 128 matched controls showed that factors like tacrolimus use, low lymphocyte counts, male sex, recent corticosteroid use, and previous CMV infections increased the risk of developing this infection.
  • Conversely, patients on trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole prophylaxis had a significantly lower risk of nocardiosis; however, those who did develop it had poorer survival rates compared to controls.

Listeriosis is rare after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Little is known about listeriosis in this population. In this retrospective international case-control study, we evaluated 41 listeriosis episodes occurring between 2000 and 2021 in HCT recipients (111 transplant centers in 30 countries) and assessed risk factors for listeriosis by comparisons with matched controls.
