Higher Microbiota Diversity Linked To Lower Risk of Mortality After Transplant
Patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation who have greater intestinal microbiota diversity may have a lower risk for mortality.
Transplantation
CMV Exposure at Transplantation Is an Independent Predictor of Thrombotic Events
Donor cytomegalovirus seropositivity at transplantation was associated with an increased risk for thrombotic events post-transplantation.
Intestinal Microbiota Composition and Bloodstream Infection in Stem Cell Transplant Recipients
Among recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), gram-negative intestinal colonization is highly predictive of bloodstream infections.
Comparable Survival With Hepatitis C-Positive, -Negative Heart Transplant Donors
Patients who received heart transplants from hepatitis C virus-positive vs -negative donors were found to have comparable survival at 1 year and patients who developed transplant-related hepatitis C responded well to treatment.
Untreated Oral Infection Not Tied to Stem Cell Transplant Outcomes
Untreated chronic oral infection is not associated with post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant outcomes.
Heart Transplants From HCV-Positive Donors Safe
Adult heart transplants from hepatitis C virus-positive donors appear safe, with no increased risk for adverse effects on one-year survival.
Pediatric Recipients of Liver Transplant Often Undervaccinated
Many pediatric liver transplant recipients are undervaccinated.
Early-Onset Pneumonia in Recipients of Liver Transplant
Early-onset pneumonia with multidrug-resistant organisms is a major concern for patients who have received a liver transplant, and pre- and intra-operative risk factors influence its development, according to study data presented at The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases’ The Liver Meeting, held November 8 to 12, 2019 in Boston, Massachusetts. In an…
Updated Guidelines and Recommendations for Safe Living After Solid Organ Transplant
Managing the risk for infection is one of the primary tasks in optimizing outcomes for solid organ transplant recipients.
New Emerging Viruses Causing Acute Gastroenteritis in Children With Hematopoietic Cell Transplant
The epidemiology of acute gastroenteritis pathogens identified from pediatric patients who have undergone allogenic hematopoietic cell transplant may be changing.
