TL;DR: It is concluded that unmanipulated, G-CSF–primed BM transplantation from haploidentical family donor provides very encouraging results in terms of engraftment rate, incidence of GVHD and survival and represents a feasible, valid alternative for patients with high-risk malignant hematologic diseases, lacking an HLA identical sibling and in need to be urgently transplanted.

TL;DR: Primary infection with HHV-8 may be associated with a febrile maculopapular skin rash among immunocompetent children and the hypothesis that transmission through saliva is the main mode of transmission in the pediatric age group is supported.

TL;DR: Patients with SARS-CoV2 infection frequently present with subjective neurological symptoms (sNS), and laboratory findings correlated with the occurrence of hyposmia, dysgeusia, headache, daytime sleepiness, and depression.

TL;DR: HHV-8 antibodies are highly prevalent in Egyptian children, suggesting that, in developing countries, HHV- 8 infection may be acquired early in life through routes other than sexual transmission.

TL;DR: Almost one third of individuals co-infected with HIV/HHV8 developed KS within 10 years after HIV seroconversion, and higher antibody titers to HHV8 appear to be related to faster progression to KS but not to other AIDS-defining diseases.
