Efficacy and Safety of Revaccination against Tetanus, Diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae Type b and Hepatitis B Virus in a Prospective Cohort of Adult Recipients of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Data on immunogenicity and safety of the recommended revaccination schedule against diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), and hepatitis B in adult allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients are limited. This prospective single-center cohort study (April 2014 to March 2018) included adult allo-HSCT recipients referred to a dedicated vaccinology consultation and vaccinated with the pediatric combined diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, hepatitis B virus, inactivated poliovirus, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTaP(±HB)-IPV-Hib) vaccine (3 doses 1 month apart, booster dose 1 year later). The proportion of responders to tetanus, diphtheria, Hib, and hepatitis B vaccine and geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) of antibodies were assessed before and up to 24 months after vaccination.

FLT3-TKD Mutations Associated With NPM1 Mutations Define a Favorable-risk Group in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Background: Outcome of patients with mutation of the FLT3 tyrosine kinase domain (FLT3-TKD) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains controversial.

Patients And Methods: Herein, we present a retrospective study of 126 newly diagnosed patients with AML performed in 2 French centers.

Results: FLT3-TKD mutations represented 12.

Rituximab-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone is highly effective in patients with monoclonal Ig deposit-related glomerulopathy and indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Indolent non-hodgkin lymphomas (iNHL) are a rare cause of monoclonal immunoglobulin deposits-related glomerulopathy (mIgGN). In patients with iNHL-related mIgGN, whether treatment should include either single or a combination of drug(s) to target the malignant clone and renal inflammation remains elusive. In this retrospective study, we report a cohort of 14 patients with iNHL-related mIgGN (cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis [n = 5], membranous nephropathy [n = 3], membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis [n = 3], AL or AL/AH amyloidosis [n = 2], and Light Chain Deposits Disease [n = 1]) and who received a treatment combining rituximab, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (RCD).
