BACKGROUND: Kidney transplant recipients are at risk for a severe course of COVID-19 with a high mortality rate. A considerable number of patients remains without a satisfactory serological response after the baseline and adjuvant SARS-CoV-2 vaccination schedule. METHODS: In this prospective, randomized study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of one and two booster doses of mRNA vaccines (either mRNA-1273 or BNT162b2) in 125 COVID-19 naive, adult kidney transplant recipients who showed an insufficient humoral response (SARS-CoV-2 IgG <10 AU/ml) to the previous 2-dose vaccination schedule...

BACKGROUND: Endemic mycoses after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are rarely reported. We aimed to comprehensively review the clinical presentation and outcomes of endemic mycoses in this immunocompromised population. METHODS: Multiple databases were reviewed from inception through May 31, 2023 using endemic fungi as keywords (e.g., coccidioides, histoplasma, blastomyces, talaromyces, and paracoccidioides). Only hematopoietic transplants were included...

BACKGROUND: Understanding immunogenicity and alloimmune risk following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination in kidney transplant recipients is imperative to understanding the correlates of protection and to inform clinical guidelines. METHODS: We studied 50 kidney transplant recipients following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and quantified their anti-spike protein antibody, donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA), gene expression profiling (GEP), and alloantibody formation...

Rhodococcosis is an uncommon cause of pulmonary infection in thoracic organ transplant recipients. We describe a heart transplant recipient diagnosed with Rhodococcus equi left upper lung abscess with empyema thoracis complicated by bacteremia. The patient was successfully treated with appropriate antibiotics, adequate surgical resection, and optimization of immunosuppressants.

BACKGROUND: CAR T-cell therapy, where a patient's own T cells are re-engineered to express a receptor to a target of interest, is becoming an increasingly utilized cancer-directed therapy. There are significant toxicities that contribute to a novel state of immunocompromise, leading to new patterns of infectious complications that require further detailed study. METHODS: We created a single-center cohort of adult recipients of CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy and assessed infectious outcomes, supportive care received, toxicities, and markers of immune function up to 2 years following CAR T-cell therapy...

Infections continue to be major causes of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised children and adolescents with cancer or undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. This report summarizes new clinical research data presented at the 33rd European Congress on Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases on infections in this vulnerable population, with a focus on the epidemiology, diagnosis, and prevention of invasive fungal diseases and de-escalation strategies in neutropenic patients with fever of unknown origin...

Cellular therapies provide a curative-intent option for patients with relapsedand refractory lymphomas. Current options including high dose chemotherapyfollowed by autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or CD19 chimericantigen receptor T-cell (CART) therapy. The indication varies according to lymphoma sub-type and line oftherapy. The sequencing of these therapies and their use in second-line orlater settings to manage these diseases is undergoing significant changes, withCD19 CAR T becoming a preferred option for relapsed aggressive B-cell lymphoma...

BACKGROUND: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common cause of morbidity after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). Pre-emptive therapy (PET) with valganciclovir (VGC) is associated with haematological toxicity. METHODS: We included alloHCT patients from 2018 to 2021 where letermovir (LTV) was used for CMV PET because of cytopenias. RESULTS: Ten patients were included. Six received VGC prior to LTV. VGC was commenced at median d42, given for median 40 days...

REVIEW
Lora Thomas, Julie Boatman
Hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy recipients are susceptible to multiple pulmonary complications that are caused by infectious and noninfectious processes. Numerous variables can be associated with specific pulmonary diseases including time from transplantation, presence of graft versus host disease (GVHD), underlying disease, and prolonged neutropenia and lymphocytopenia. Most pulmonary complications are infectious in origin, with bacterial pneumonia remaining the most common pulmonary infection, particularly before neutrophil engraftment...

BACKGROUND: Antibodies against human leukocyte antigen (anti-HLA Abs) are associated with an increased risk of allograft loss. Herein, we report the prospective follow-up for anti-HLA Abs formation in 103 patients with end-stage kidney disease on the waiting list for transplantation who underwent COVID-19 vaccination. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sera were tested before and after vaccination using Luminex technology. The cohort comprised of 62 males and 41 females with a mean age of 56 ± 14 years...

OBJECTIVE: Primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is observed in 60% of children during the first year after liver transplantation as usage of imm-unosuppressant. Finding predictive indicators of EBV infection is important to reduce the morbidity and mortality of EBV infection-related diseases by suggesting a dose reduction of immunosuppressant. METHODS: We compared and analysed the gut microbiome of EBV-infected children with an asymptomatic virus-carrying status and EBV-uninfected children after liver transplantation using high-throughput sequencing...

BACKGROUND: Valganciclovir is the first-line agent for Cytomegalovirus prophylaxis after lung transplantation. However, its use is associated with a relatively high risk of hematological toxicity. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between trough ganciclovir concentration and hematologic toxicity in lung transplantation patients receiving valganciclovir prophylaxis, and identify factors that affect ganciclovir pharmacokinetics in this population. METHODS: This prospective observational study included 24 lung transplant patients receiving valganciclovir prophylaxis...
