Relevance: Here, we describe a BCP-ALL patient treated with INO for isolated extramedullary relapse after allo-HCT.
Conclusion/Relevance: The transplant episode can be divided into a pre-transplantation assessment phase, an early post-transplantation phase (start of conditioning regimen to ∼3-6 months post-transplant), and a late post-transplantation phase (more than ∼3-6 months post-transplant).
Donor lymphocyte infusion after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34988692/
Although haploidentical donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is a valid treatment option for relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the incidence and risk factors for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and the efficacy of...
Conclusion/Relevance: Our results indicated the substantial risk of acute GVHD after haploidentical DLI with CD3 cell count of 5.0×105/kg or higher and the favorable outcomes after preemptive DLI.
HLA-DRB3/4/5 Matching Improves Outcome of Unrelated Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34970261/
The HLA-DRB3/4/5 loci are closely linked to the HLA-DRB1 gene. Mismatches in these loci occur with a frequency of about 8%-12% in otherwise 10/10 HLA-matched transplant pairs. There is preliminary...
Conclusion/Relevance: Our study results suggest that mismatches within the ARD of HLA-DRB3/4/5 genes significantly impact the outcome of otherwise fully matched uHSCT and support their consideration upon donor selection in the future.
Chronic graft-versus-host disease presenting as acute polymyositis: A case series and systematic review
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S096632742100160X?via=ihub
Acute polymyositis is a rare manifestation of chronic graft vs host disease. * Usually presents with myalgia, proximal muscle weakness and high creatine kinase. * Biopsy shows perimysial inflammation and...

Conclusion/Relevance: We present a case series of three patients who presented with APM as a sole presentation of cGvHD and were treated successfully with corticosteroids and ruxolitinib. We also conducted a systematic review including 72 patients to summarize current literature regarding APM associated with cGvHD after allo-HSCT.
