Article Synopsis
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) pose significant health risks for immunocompromised patients, particularly those undergoing treatment for haematological malignancies, due to weakened immune systems from chemotherapy and stem-cell transplants.
- The paper focuses on specific STIs such as Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, herpes, HPV, and hepatitis B, highlighting their increased incidence and severity in patients with blood cancers.
- The authors call for more comprehensive research to better understand and address the impact of STIs on these patients, while also discussing necessary protective measures and the importance of vaccines.
We evaluated the impact of early recovery of mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT) and gamma-delta (γδ) T cells, especially Vδ2 T cells, on the clinical outcomes of 76 patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). MAIT cells were identified at day 20-30 post-transplant using flow cytometry and defined as CD3 TCRVα7.2CD161.
