Abstract
UNLABELLED The presence of active viral infections has an impact on the prognosis of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Nevertheless, the number of reports of cytomegalovirus infection in patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) who undergo HSCT is relatively low. To analyze the effect of cytomegalovirus infection acquired prior to curative treatment on patient survival in 123 children with IEI. An observational and retrospective study was performed with patients younger than 18 years diagnosed with IEI who were candidates for HSCT, gene therapy, or thymus transplantation at five hospitals in Spain between 2008 and 2019. We included 123 children, 25 infected by cytomegalovirus prior to undergoing curative treatment (20.3%). At IEI diagnosis, 24 of the patients were already infected, 21 of whom had symptomatic cytomegalovirus disease (87%), while the other three patients developed disease before undergoing curative treatment. The patients with cytomegalovirus infection had higher mortality than those without (p = 0.006). Fourteen patients developed refractory cytomegalovirus infection (56%), all of whom died, while no patients with non-refractory infection died (p = 0.001) All deaths that occurred before curative treatment and three of the five after the treatment were attributed to cytomegalovirus. Patients with refractory cytomegalovirus disease had the highest pre-HSCT mortality rate (64.3%), compared with the non-infected children and those with non-refractory cytomegalovirus disease (10.1%) (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Prevention and prompt control of cytomegalovirus infection, together with early HSCT/gene therapy, are crucial for improving the prognosis in children with IEI. WHAT IS KNOWN • Cytomegalovirus is the most frequent viral infection in children with inborn errors of immunity who are candidates to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). • Active viral infections at the time of HSCT lead to worse prognosis. WHAT IS NEW • In children with inborn errors of immunity and indication of HSCT, refractory cytomegalovirus disease is associated with a very high mortality rate, compared with non-infected children and those with non-refractory cytomegalovirus disease. • In patients with novel transplantation indications, the presence and treatment response of CMV infection should be considered to decide the best possible moment for HSCT.

Abstract
Primary immune regulatory disorders (PIRD) are associated with autoimmunity, autoinflammation and/or dysregulation of lymphocyte homeostasis. Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is a PIRD due to an apoptotic defect in Fas-FasL pathway and characterized by benign and chronic lymphoproliferation, autoimmunity and increased risk of lymphoma. Clinical manifestations and typical laboratory biomarkers of ALPS have also been found in patients with a gene defect out of the Fas-FasL pathway (ALPS-like disorders). Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA), we identified more than 600 patients suffering from 24 distinct genetic defects described in the literature with an autoimmune lymphoproliferative phenotype (ALPS-like syndromes) corresponding to phenocopies of primary immunodeficiency (PID) (NRAS, KRAS), susceptibility to EBV (MAGT1, PRKCD, XIAP, SH2D1A, RASGRP1, TNFRSF9), antibody deficiency (PIK3CD gain of function (GOF), PIK3R1 loss of function (LOF), CARD11 GOF), regulatory T-cells defects (CTLA4, LRBA, STAT3 GOF, IL2RA, IL2RB, DEF6), combined immunodeficiencies (ITK, STK4), defects in intrinsic and innate immunity and predisposition to infection (STAT1 GOF, IL12RB1) and autoimmunity/autoinflammation (ADA2, TNFAIP3,TPP2, TET2). CTLA4 and LRBA patients correspond around to 50% of total ALPS-like cases. However, only 100% of CTLA4, PRKCD, TET2 and NRAS/KRAS reported patients had an ALPS-like presentation, while the autoimmunity and lymphoproliferation combination resulted rare in other genetic defects. Recurrent infections, skin lesions, enteropathy and malignancy are the most common clinical manifestations. Some approaches available for the immunological study and identification of ALPS-like patients through flow cytometry and ALPS biomarkers are provided in this work. Protein expression assays for NKG2D, XIAP, SAP, CTLA4 and LRBA deficiencies and functional studies of AKT, STAT1 and STAT3 phosphorylation, are showed as useful tests. Patients suspected to suffer from one of these disorders require rapid and correct diagnosis allowing initiation of tailored specific therapeutic strategies and monitoring thereby improving the prognosis and their quality of life.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To prevent acute poisoning in children we need to know in which circumstances they occur. OBJECTIVE To analyse the circumstances of poisoning in children under 7 years-old and the management of these children in Spanish Paediatric Emergency Departments (SPED). MATERIAL AND METHODS We perform a prospective study of charts of poisoned children less than 7 years admitted to 44 hospitals between 2008 and 2011. RESULTS A total of 400 poisoned children were recorded: 308 (77%) in children under 7 years, of whom 23 (7.5%) of them had previous episodes of poisoning in the family. More than half (230) occurred at home, mainly due to accidental ingestion (89.6%), of drugs (182, 59%), household products (75, 24.4%), and cosmetics (18, 5.8%). More than one-third (36.6%) contacted other departments before the patient reached SPED. A total of 160 (51.9%) were treated in the hospital, and 45.4% were admitted in the hospital. None of them died. Drug poisoning required complementary tests more often (48.9% vs. 32% household products, and 11.1% cosmetics, P<.05), more treatments (64.8% vs. 36% and 16.6%, P<.0001) and more admissions (54.9% vs. 37.3% and 5.5%, P=.015), and 12.1% were not due to accidental ingestion but dosage errors (vs. 2.6% and 0%, P<.05). Household product poisonings were more often related with storage in non-original packaging and being reachable by children. CONCLUSIONS The most frequent poisonings seen in SPED were caused by the accidental ingestion of drugs and household products by children less than 7 years-old at home. Drug poisoning was potentially more risky. Drug and household product storage education, proper drug dosage and administration, and good advice are the main issues to prevent these poisonings.
