Published: September 2020

Objective: Describe the clinical course and management of a dog that underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for treatment of B-cell lymphoma and developed acquired circulating factor V (FV) inhibitors.

Case Summary: An 8-year-old male castrated Briard dog diagnosed with lymphoma (IVb, B-cell) presented for allogeneic HSCT. Despite multiple platelet, fresh frozen plasma, and red blood cell transfusions prolonged recovery and clinical bleeding occurred. Circulating acquired FV inhibitors were identified and hemorrhage subsequently was managed by immunosuppression. The dog was discharged when clinical resolution of bleeding was achieved.

New Or Unique Information Provided: This case report describes a dog undergoing curative intent treatment for lymphoma, and subsequently acquiring factor inhibition, and was successfully managed. Specific coagulation screening to assess for coagulation factor deficiencies or inhibitors is essential in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with refractory bleeding or only transient response to blood transfusion.

Gut microbiota disruptions after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) are associated with increased risk of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). We designed a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial to test whether healthy-donor fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) early after alloHCT reduces the incidence of severe aGVHD. Here, we report the results from the single-arm run-in phase which identified the best of 3 stool donors for the randomized phase.

Background: Myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS) are a diverse group of clonal myeloid disorders. Advances in molecular technology lead to the development of new classification systems. However, large-scale epidemiological studies on MDS in Asian countries are currently scarce.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains one of the most common and challenging post-transplant infections. Children with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) and T-cell dysfunction are at high risk for CMV infection, which can be complicated by refractory and/or resistant cases. This case describes a Nepalese girl with MHC class II deficiency, who presented at 3 months of age with CMV and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia.

Unrelated bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a curative treatment for hematological malignancies. While HLA mismatch is a recognized risk factor in unrelated BMT, the significance of non-HLA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) remains uncertain. Cytokines play key roles in several aspects of unrelated BMT.

To identify the differences between aged and young human hematopoiesis, we performed a direct comparison of aged and young human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Alterations in transcriptome profiles upon aging between humans and mice were then compared. Human specimens consist of CD34+ cells from bone marrow, and mouse specimens of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs; Lin- Kit+ Sca1+ CD150+).
