Article Abstract
To investigate the clinical features and outcome of severe pneumonia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for malignant hematological disease, the clinical features of severe pneumonia, including symptoms, signs, blood-gas analysis and thoracic X-ray change were observed, the clinical therapeutical outcome is also evaluated. The results showed that after treatment with antibiotics or antibiotics + antiviral drugs or antibiotics + antiviral drugs + glucocorticosteroids, as well as mechanical ventilation, pulmonary changes in 17 patients with sever pneumonia completely disappeared, 1 case died. In conclusion, early diagnosis and proper treatment for complicated pneumonia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can decrease the mortality.

Extramedullary relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is usually associated with poor prognosis. Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T cell) therapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is beneficial for relapsed/refractory (r/r) B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Here, we report a B-ALL patient with extramedullary relapse involving several organs, including multiple lymph nodes and the breast, kidney, uterus and pancreas.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is a common problem in patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Severe HSV infections can cause pneumonia, encephalitis, meningitis and other lesions, thus requiring caution. Acyclovir is the drug of choice for the prevention of HSV infection.

VEXAS syndrome (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, and somatic) is a recently identified clonal disorder caused by somatic UBA1 mutations in hematopoietic stem cells, leading to bone marrow failure (BMF) and systemic inflammation. We screened 1771 patients with BMF who underwent unrelated hematopoietic cell transplantation in Japan between 1995 and 2020 using multitarget real-time PCR. The diagnoses included myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS, n = 1139), myeloproliferative neoplasms (n = 125), plasma cell neoplasms (n = 23), acquired BMF (n = 395), and congenital BMF (n = 89).

Background: Late-onset severe pneumonia (LOSP) is one of the most important causes of mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The influenza virus is a frequent viral pathogen in patients receiving allo-HSCT, accounting for at least 30% of all respiratory viral infections. We aimed to identify the clinical characteristics and outcomes of influenza-associated LOSP after allo-HSCT.
