Human Cytomegalovirus Infection in Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients and CAR T Cell Recipients - PART 1: Risk Factors, Clinical Impact and Immune Response. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is one of the most important opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised individuals, including allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo‐HSCT) recipients. In allo‐HSCT, HCMV seropositivity of the recipient and donor is associated with inferior survival outcomes, and post‐transplant HCMV reactivation is

Encephalomyelitis in primary hypogammaglobulinaemia [PDF]
The neurological features of 13 patients with primary hypogammaglobulinaemia are described. Seven patients had X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) and six had common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). Three clinical pictures emerged: (i) a progressive myelopathy (one case); (ii) a myelopathy progressing to an encephalopathy (four cases); (iii) a pure ...
