Cytomegalovirus Viral Load Kinetics Predict Cytomegalovirus End-Organ Disease and Mortality After Hematopoietic Cell Transplant

Anat Stern et al.

Summary: This study investigated the association between time-averaged area under the curve (AAUC) of CMV viral load and overall survival at 1-year post-HCT. Results showed that non-controllers had worse survival rates, while controllers had similar outcomes to elite-controllers or R-/D-. Further research is needed to validate the AAUC cutoff across different cohorts and CMV management strategies.

Cytomegalovirus Prophylaxis versus Pre-emptive Strategy: Different CD4+ and CD8+ T Cell Reconstitution after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Alessandra Sperotto et al.

Summary: Reconstitution of T cells post-transplant is crucial for long-term success, and its correlation with CMV reactivation and disease is well-established. Pre-emptive antiviral treatment leads to faster T cell recovery, while prophylaxis with letermovir may result in CMV reactivation post-discontinuation, necessitating subsequent antiviral treatment.
