Regionally limited or rare infections: prevention after hematopoietic cell transplantation.

摘要

This section covers infections that are prevalent only in certain geographical areas, or that occur uncommonly among hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients. Diseases covered are tuberculosis (TB), Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP), toxoplasmosis, strongyloidiasis, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, malaria and Nocardia infection. Other infections, such as babesiosis, can be transmitted in the course of transplant through blood, in addition to hematopoietic cell graft. Guidelines for the prevention of these graft-transmissible infections are found in the Hematopoietic Cell Safety Section.
