Abstract
Cytomegalovirus reactivation (CMVr) and bloodstream infections (BSI) are the most common infectious complications in patients after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Both are associated with great high morbidity whilst the BSI is the leading cause of mortality. This retrospective study evaluated the incidence of CMVr and BSI, identified associated risk factors, assessed their impact on survival in allo-HSCT recipients during the first 100 days after transplantation. The study comprised 500 allo-HSCT recipients who were CMV DNA-negative and CMV IgG-positive before allo-HSCT. Amongst them, 400 developed CMVr and 75 experienced BSI within 100 days after allo-HSCT. Multivariate regression revealed that graft failure and acute graft-versus-host disease were significant risk factors for poor prognosis, whereas CMVr or BSI alone were not. Amongst all 500 patients, 56 (14%) developed both CMVr and BSI in the 100 days after HSCT, showing significantly reduced 6-month overall survival (p = 0.003) and long-term survival (p = 0.002). Specifically, in the initial post-transplant phase (within 60 days), BSI significantly elevate mortality risk, However, patients who survive BSI during this critical period subsequently experience a lower mortality risk. Nevertheless, the presence of CMVr in patients with BSI considerably diminishes their long-term survival prospects. This study provides real-world data on the impact of CMVr and BSI following transplantation on survival, particularly in regions such as China, where the prevalence of CMV IgG-positivity is high. The findings underscore the necessity for devising and executing focused prevention and early management strategies for CMVr and BSI to enhance outcomes for allo-HSCT recipients.

Letermovir Effectively Prevents Cytomegalovirus Infection in Patients with Aplastic Anemia After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Real-World Retrospective Cohort Study. Infect Dis Ther 2024; 13:345-359. [PMID: 38265628 PMCID: PMC10904706 DOI: 10.1007/s40121-024-00917-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION In this single-center retrospective cohort study, we investigated the efficacy of letermovir in preventing Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in patients with aplastic anemia (AA) who have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). METHODS Based on whether or not letermovir was used for preventing CMV infection, the patients were categorized into two groups: letermovir and control groups. The overall survival (OS) rate and cumulative incidence of CMV infection during the first 100 days after allo-HSCT were evaluated. The study included 21 matched pairs of patients, identified through propensity score matching analysis, to compare CMV infection rates, treatment efficacy, and regression. RESULTS The incidence of CMV infection within 100 days after transplantation was significantly lower in the letermovir group than in the control group (26.5 vs. 77.4%, respectively; P < 0.001), among a total of 87 patients who underwent the transplant. In the matched cohort of 21 patients with AA, the letermovir group also showed a significantly reduced cumulative incidence of CMV infection (14.3 vs. 90.5% in the control group; P < 0.001). Compared to the control group, patients with CMV infection in the letermovir group had lower CMV-DNA load and a shorter clearance time. However, there was no significant difference in OS between both groups (P = 0.34). CONCLUSIONS Letermovir effectively prevents CMV infection in allo-HSCT recipients with AA and demonstrates a high safety profile.

J Pers Med 2023; 13:jpm13040639. [PMID: 37109025 PMCID: PMC10142787 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13040639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze and summarize the clinical and imaging characteristics of patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) relapse after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). METHODS This retrospective case series study recruited patients with CMVR after HSCT. The study compared the patients with stable lesions and CMV-negative aqueous humor after treatment with those with relapse lesions and a CMV DNA load in aqueous humor which had increased again after treatment. The observation indexes were basic clinical information, best-corrected visual acuity, wide-angle fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), blood CD4+ T lymphocyte count, and aqueous humor CMV load of the patients. We summarized the data and statistically analyzed the differences between the relapse and non-relapse groups, as well as the correlations of the observed indicators. RESULTS The study recruited 52 patients with CMVR (82 eyes) after HSCT, of whom 11 patients (15 eyes) had recurrence after treatment (21.2%). The recurrence interval was 6.4 ± 4.9 months. The final best-corrected visual acuity of recurrent patients was 0.3 ± 0.3. The number of CD4+ T lymphocytes in recurrence patients at the time of onset was 126.7 ± 80.2/mm3. The median CMV DNA load detected in aqueous humor at the time of recurrence was 8.63 × 103 copies/mL. There was a significant difference in the CD4+ T lymphocyte count between the recurrence and the non-recurrence groups at onset. The onset of visual acuity in recurrence patients was significantly correlated with final visual acuity and recurrence lesion area. The fundus of recurred CMVR showed increased marginal activity of the original stable lesion. Concurrently, yellow-white new lesions appeared around the stable, atrophic, and necrotic lesions. OCT showed new diffuse hyperreflexic lesions in the retinal neuroepithelial layer near the old lesions. Inflammatory punctate hyperreflexes were observed in the vitreous, with vitreous liquefaction and contraction. CONCLUSION This study suggests that the clinical features, fundus manifestations, and imaging features of CMVR recurrence after HSCT are different from those at the initial onset. Patients should be closely followed up after their condition is stable to be alert for CMVR recurrence.
