Treatment of adenovirus infections in the immunocompromised host

Abstract

Adenovirus infections are increasing as causes of morbidity and mortality in severely immunocompromised patients. The currently available antiviral agents, ribavirin and cidofovir, have yielded mixed results in case reports and small case series. Similar to cytomegalovirus disease, established adenovirus disease is often difficult to treat. Therapy may yield poor results, even when effective antiviral drugs are used. New strategies, including pre-emptive therapy, should be tested in prospective, clinical trials. New agents and adoptive transfer of specific T-cells to adenovirus might improve the current situation.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
