摘　　要：AIM: To determine the incidence of and the risk factors for cytomegalovirus(CMV) symptomatic infection and end-organ disease after autologous stem cell transplantation(ASCT).METHODS: A total of 327 consecutive non CD34+ selected autografts performed from the Hematology and Stem Cell Transplantation Unit of Regina Elena National Cancer Institute of Rome(Italy) in the period comprised between January 2003 to January 2015, were reviewed. Over the 327 autografts, 201 were performed in patients with multiple myeloma, whereas the remaining 126 in patients affected by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma. The patients who underwent an ASCT for an acute leukemia(n = 20) in the sameperiod were excluded from this analysis. CMV DNA load in the blood has been determined by polymerasechain reaction in the case of a clinical suspicion of reactivation, therefore, no routine monitoring strategy was adopted. In the presence of signs and symptoms of CMV reactivation an antiviral treatment was performed.RESULTS: Overall, 36 patients(11%) required a specific antiviral treatment for a symptomatic CMV reactivation(n = 32) or an end-organ disease(n = 4). We observed 20 and 16 cases of CMV reactivation among lymphoma(16%) and myeloma patients(8%), respectively. Among cases of end-organ disease, 3 were diagnosed as interstitial pneumonia and one remaining case as hemorrhagic enteritis. All cases of CMV reactivation were observed in Ig G seropositive patients, with no documented cases of primary CMV infection. All patients were treated with a specific antiviral therapy, with a global rate of hospitalization of 55%; four patients received intravenous immunoglobulins. Transplantrelated mortality was significantly higher in patients who experienced a CMV reactivation(8.4% ± 4.7% vs 1.7% ± 0.8%; P = 0.047). In univariate analysis, a pretransplant HBc Ig G seropositivity, a diagnosis of T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and higher median age at transplant were significantly associated with the risk of developing a clinically relevant CMAIM: To determine the incidence of and the risk factors for cytomegalovirus(CMV) symptomatic infection and end-organ disease after autologous stem cell transplantation(ASCT).METHODS: A total of 327 consecutive non CD34+ selected autografts performed from the Hematology and Stem Cell Transplantation Unit of Regina Elena National Cancer Institute of Rome(Italy) in the period comprised between January 2003 to January 2015, were reviewed.
