Long-term follow-up of HCV-infected hematopoietic SCT patients and effects of antiviral therapy
This prospective study was initiated in 1993 with the aim to study late effects and responses to antiviral therapy in a cohort of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients. A total of 195 patients were include...

Survival of patients with documented autologous recovery after SCT for severe aplastic anemia: a study by the WPSAA of the EBMT
Graft rejection, with persistent pancytopenia, is well documented after allogeneic BMT (hematopoietic SCT (HSCT)) for severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and the prognosis is poor. The recovery of host-hematopoiesis,...

Pre-emptive treatment of acute GVHD: a randomized multicenter trial of rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin, given on day+7 after alternative donor transplants
We have previously shown that hemopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients can be stratified on day+7 as having low, intermediate or a high risk of transplant-related mortality (TRM). With the aim of red...

Article
Recent improvement in outcome of unrelated donor transplantation for aplastic anemia
The aim was to determine whether outcome of unrelated donor transplantation for severe aplastic anemia has improved in recent years and whether this is due to patient selection or better transplant technology....

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation following reduced-intensity conditioning can induce durable clinical and molecular remissions in relapsed lymphomas: pre-transplant disease status and histotype heavily influence outcome
The safety and efficacy of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) for relapsed lymphomas remains unresolved. We conducted a prospective, multicentered, phas...

Efficacy of caspofungin as secondary prophylaxis in patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation with prior pulmonary and/or systemic fungal infection
Transplanted patients with a history of invasive fungal infection (IFI) are at high risk of develo** relapse and fatal complications. Eighteen patients affected by hematological malignancies and a previous I...

Article
The influence of cyclosporin alone, or cyclosporin and methotrexate, on the incidence of mixed haematopoietic chimaerism following allogeneic sibling bone marrow transplantation for severe aplastic anaemia
We previously reported a randomized trial comparing Cyclosporin-A (CsA) and short-term methotrexate versus CsA alone for graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis in 71 patients undergoing allogeneic haemat...

Article
A novel Leu153Ser mutation of the Fanconi anemia FANCD2 gene is associated with severe chemotherapy toxicity in a pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by pancitopenia, congenital malformations, predisposition to cancers and chromosomal instability. We report the clinical and molecular featur...

Article
Comparison of long-term outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from matched sibling and unrelated donors
Long-term survivors of hematopoietic stem cell transplants remain at risk of potentially fatal complications that detract from life quality. Long-term morbidity and mortality were compared between matched reci...

Genomic gain at 6p21: a new cryptic molecular rearrangement in secondary myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia
Fluorescence in situ hybridization and comparative genomic hybridization characterized 6p rearrangements in eight primary and in 10 secondary myeloid disorders (including one patient with Fanconi anemia) and foun...

Fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and anti-thymocyte globulin for alternative donor transplants in acquired severe aplastic anemia: a report from the EBMT-SAA Working Party
We have developed a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen for patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) undergoing alternative donor transplants, which includes fludarabine (120 mg/m2), cyclophosphamide (1200 m...

Article
Vaccination of stem cell transplant recipients: recommendations of the Infectious Diseases Working Party of the EBMT
Over the last 25 years, the numbers of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (SCT) patients have increased rapidly. Infections have been major obstacles for successful transplantation. Thus, infection prevention ...

Article
The polymorphisms −318C>T in the promoter and 49A>G in exon 1 of CTLA4 and the risk of aplastic anemia in a Caucasian population
Aplastic anemia (AA) is a rare disease with a major autoimmune pathogenetic component. CTLA4 is a T-lymphocyte surface molecule involved in the maintenance of immune tolerance. Some polymorphisms associated wi...

Hepatitis reactivation and liver failure in haemopoietic stem cell transplants for hepatitis B virus (HBV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) positive recipients: a retrospective study by the Italian group for blood and marrow transplantation
Hepatitis B virus/hepatitis C virus (HBV/HCV) positive patients undergoing haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are at risk of hepatitis reactivation and fatal liver failure: we have conducted a retro...

Article
Leukaemic transformation of donor cells in a patient receiving a second allogeneic bone marrow transplant for severe aplastic anaemia
Allogeneic blood or bone marrow transplantation is a successful treatment for leukaemia and severe aplastic anaemia (SAA). Graft rejection following transplantation for leukaemia is a rare event but leukaemic ...

The role of thalidomide in the treatment of refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease following bone marrow transplantation in children
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a frequent complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Thalidomide was found to have immunosuppressive properties and it has been used in a limite...

Article
Hepatitis C virus genotypes and liver disease in patients undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes were investigated in 57 HCV-infected patients undergoing allogeneic BMT at four European BMT units where death resulting from liver failure (LF) in HCV-infected patients varie...
