BACKGROUND/AIM: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) replication may cause life-threatening complications after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The aim of the study was to characterize CMV events, and the outcome of letermovir (LTV) CMV prophylaxis.
In this retrospective analysis of patients treated with an allo-HSCT between 2010 and 2020, we determined plasma CMV events, as well as associated risk factors.
We identified 423 patients who had undergone allo-HSCT between 2010 and 2020. CMV DNAemia was found in 130/423 (30.7%) of patients. CMV reactivation rate was significantly higher in patients with acute graft-versus-host disease, HLA mismatch, and CMV IgG seropositivity of donors and recipients. Among 42 patients receiving LTV prophylaxis those, 5 (11.9%) showed CMV DNAemia under LTV versus 87/353 (24.6%) in a control group.
Despite the development of better approaches with weekly monitoring and early treatment initiation, CMV reactivations play an important role after allo-HSCT.
背景/目的:异基因造血干细胞移植(allo-HSCT)后,巨细胞病毒(CMV)复制可能导致危及生命的并发症。本研究的目的是描述 CMV 事件以及来特莫韦(LTV)CMV 预防的结果。
在这项对 2010 年至 2020 年间接受 allo-HSCT 治疗的患者进行的回顾性分析中,我们确定了血浆 CMV 事件以及相关的危险因素。
我们确定了 423 例在 2010 年至 2020 年间接受 allo-HSCT 的患者。130/423(30.7%)的患者出现 CMV DNAemia。急性移植物抗宿主病、HLA 错配、供者和受者 CMV IgG 阳性的患者 CMV 再激活率显著更高。在接受 LTV 预防的 42 例患者中,5 例(11.9%)在 LTV 下出现 CMV DNAemia,而对照组 353 例中的 87 例(24.6%)出现 CMV DNAemia。
尽管采用了每周监测和早期治疗的方法,但 CMV 再激活在 allo-HSCT 后仍然是一个重要的问题。
