Popis: | Background and Objectives: Infections is yet one of the life-threatening complications of the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The myeloablative and immunosuppressive conditioning regimens, which are administered before HSCT, dampen the defense capacity of the recipients’ immune systems. In this condition, opportunistic infections, especially viral infections such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) can be reactivated and cause morbidity and mortality in HSCT patients. Here, we aimed to find out any possible relationship between types of conditioning regimen and CMV reactivation in allo- geneic HSCT patients. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 145 CMV-seropositive cases out of total 201 allo-HSCT patients, including age, gender, underlying disease, conditioning regimen, prophylaxis regimen and occurrence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) to evaluate their roles in CMV reactivation. Results: Our result showed that conditioning regimen containing Busulfan and Fludarabine (P=0.003) or Cyclophospha- mide (P=0.02) significantly decrease the early CMV reactivation. Patients who developed aGVHD (P=0.003) and those who received anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) as prophylaxis regimen (P=0.002), had 1.84 and 2.63 times higher risks of CMV reactivation, respectively. Conclusion: Our findings suggest the conditioning regimen, aGVHD and ATG as influencing factors for early CMV reacti- vation post-HSCT which should be considered in the future studies. |
