Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:We analyzed incidence and profile of infections in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in Polish pediatric HSCT departments, over a 2-year period. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Hospital records of 67 patients, who underwent allogeneic HSCT for ALL, were analyzed retrospectively for microbiologically documented infection: bacterial infection (BI), viral infection (VI), and fungal infection (FI). The majority of patients (40/67; 59.7%) underwent HSCT from matched unrelated donors (MUD). RESULTS:In total, 84 BI in 31 patients, 93 VI in 50 patients, and 27 FI in 22 patients were diagnosed. No differences were found in the frequency of occurrence of BI according to the type of transplant (P = .16); the occurrence of VI was statistically more frequent in MUD transplant recipients as compared with matched sibling donors (MSD) and mismatched related donors (MMFD; P = .001) and there was a trend in MUD patients for the higher occurrence of FI in comparison with MSD and MMFD transplants (P = .08). Regarding disease status, the occurrence of BI, VI, and FI was statistically more frequent in children who underwent transplantation in their first complete remission (CR1), rather than those who underwent transplantation in ≥CR2 (P < .05). In conclusion, infectious complications are an important cause of morbidity in children with ALL treated with allogeneic HSCT and the incidence of infections is high in this group of patients.
