Abstract
Patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation are prone to complications caused by viral infections. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) considerably impacts transplantation as it frequently requires antiviral intervention that evokes substantial side effects depending on the antiviral drug. Intermittent antiviral treatment may become necessary if CMV DNAemia cannot be permanently suppressed, and drug resistance may emerge that hampers and prolongs treatment. Despite sedulous endeavours, vaccination against CMV is not yet available. This review concisely summarises current approaches in managing CMV infection comprising risk factors, diagnostics including indications for resistance testing, and therapeutic options from antiviral drugs to virus-specific T cells.
接受异基因造血细胞移植的患者很容易因病毒感染而出现并发症。巨细胞病毒(CMV)对移植的影响很大,因为它经常需要抗病毒治疗,而根据抗病毒药物的不同,会产生很大的副作用。如果无法永久抑制 CMV DNA 血症,可能需要间歇性抗病毒治疗,而且可能出现耐药性,从而阻碍和延长治疗时间。尽管做了很多努力,但目前还没有针对 CMV 的疫苗。本综述简明扼要地总结了目前治疗 CMV 感染的方法,包括风险因素、诊断(包括耐药性测试的适应症)以及从抗病毒药物到病毒特异性 T 细胞的治疗方案。
期刊介绍:
Best Practice & Research Clinical Haematology publishes review articles integrating the results from the latest original research articles into practical, evidence-based review articles. These articles seek to address the key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach which focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known, covering the spectrum of clinical and laboratory haematological practice and research. Although most reviews are invited, the Editor welcomes suggestions from potential authors.
