Chronic graft-versus-host disease.

TL;DR: Chronic graft versus host disease (GvHD) continues to be a significant problem in the allogeneic stem cell transplant setting and, as the authors continue to use alternative stem cell sources and attempt to modulate the immune system to increase an anti-tumour effect, they will probably see rising numbers of patients with this complication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Late cytomegalovirus disease and mortality in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants: importance of viral load and T-cell immunity.

TL;DR: CMV viral load, lymphopenia, and CMV-specific T-cell immunodeficiency are predictors of late CMV disease and death after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, and prevention strategies should be targeted at patients in whom CMV reactivated during the first 3 months and those with poor CMv-specific immunity or low CD4 counts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Graft-versus-host disease after nonmyeloablative versus conventional hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

TL;DR: The results show that nonablative HSCT is associated with a syndrome of acute GVHD occurring after day 100 in many patients, and should be taken into consideration in the design of prospective studies comparing GV HD resulting from the two types of transplantation procedures.
