The UK has operated a defined system for managing patients with high-consequence infectious diseases (HCIDs) since the 1970s, when protocols were first implemented following the first descriptions of several viral haemorrhagic fever diseases, including Marburg virus disease, Lassa fever and Ebola virus disease (EVD).

Tumour cells, which are often found in the peripheral blood of patients with acute leukaemia, may harbour multiple somatic alterations throughout the genome, including changes in the HLA region and short tandem repeat (STR) regions. We investigated whether such somatic alterations interfere with HLA and chimerism diagnostics conducted in preparation for an allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). This study describes 10 patient-based cases for which laboratory diagnostics were performed prior to a possible stem cell transplant in the Maastricht University Medical Center.
