Abstract

Infection remains an important cause of non-relapse mortality in hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients. Specific risk for infection is related to prior exposure history (e.g., relapse of latent infection), intensity of the conditioning regimen, immunosuppressive agents utilized, and new exposures in the setting of altered host immune response. Prevention of infection by way of prophylactic and preemptive strategies has been associated with improvement in transplant outcomes over the past few decades.
