Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on 62 patients with poor graft function after receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants, who were treated with CD34+-selected stem cells from the same donor without pre-conditioning, resulting in 47 patients showing improvement and becoming independent from transfusions and growth factors.
- - Key factors linked to recovery included having a shared seronegative status for CMV, being free from active infections, and matched sex between donor and recipient, with recovery rates being similar regardless of the level of donor chimerism.
- - Five-year survival rates varied significantly among patients: 74.4% for those who fully recovered, 16.7% for partial recovery, and 22.2%
We present five cases of cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonitis occurring in patients after recent T cell deplete allogeneic stem cell transplantation (AlloHSCT). These cases were complicated by an organising pneumonia (during the recovery period) with a predominantly central peribronchial pattern. All patients presented with evidence of active CMV pneumonitis which was treated successfully with anti-viral therapy but was followed by persistent severe dyspnoea, cough and hypoxia.
