Disseminated tuberculosis following reduced-intensity cord blood transplantation for adult patients with hematological diseases

Sequential adenovirus infection of type 14 hemorrhagic cystitis and type 35 generalized infection after cord blood transplantation

“…There is an increase in such cases because umbilical cord blood has been increasingly utilized as a source of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation of patients with advanced and high-risk hematological diseases without favorable donors. Cord blood transplantation (CBT) often presents a prolonged immunological deficiency and is complicated with various early severe infections such as bacteremia, cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease, tuberculosis, and fungal infection [4,5].…”

A unique case of tuberculosis dissemination presenting as cutaneous lesions in a post allogeneic stem cell transplant patient

“…This delay places patients at higher risk of mortality, which has been reported to be 25-30%. 5 On review of the literature of disseminated cases of tuberculosis in stem cell transplant patients, diagnosis was usually made from bronchial lavage or bone marrow biopsy [6][7][8][9][10][11] (Table 1). There was one case who had skin biopsy confirming cutaneous involvement in addition to previously established disease.…”

Tuberculosis in umbilical cord blood transplant recipients: clinical characteristics and challenges

“…1,2 Although Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection is uncommon in UCBT recipients, few available reports [3][4][5] suggest a more severe clinical course as compared with the TB infections in auto-and allo-SCT recipients. [6][7][8] Here, we report a case of TB following UCBT and discuss its clinical characteristics and challenges.…”
