This table includes individual characteristics of patients undergoing HSCT with DP of IMI (patients 1–5), patients undergoing HSCT with SR (patient 6) and PR (patients 7–10) of IMI, and patients undergoing HSCT with CR of IMIs (patients 11–14). CKD, chronic kidney disease; CNS, central nervous system; Azole-R, azole resistant; BM, bone marrow; MMRD, HLA-mismatched related donor; ATG, antithymocyte globulin (thymoglobuline); LAmB, liposomal amphotericin B; MMF, mycophenolate mofetil; GT, granulocyte transfusion; AZA, azathioprine; CTC, corticosteroids; HCT-CI, hematopoietic cell transplantation–specific comorbidity index; RTC, myeloablative reduced toxicity conditioning, BK: Human Polyomavirus 1, ARDS: acute respiratory distress syndrome.
In the year before the diagnosis of invasive fungal infection.
Delay between the first microbiological evidence of IMI and the last HSCT.
Azole-R A.fumigatus was defined by a documented resistance to all the triazole.
Patient 1 underwent a brain biopsy at the onset of the infection to identify the fungal species. After discussion with the neurosurgeons, the brain lesions of patient 4 and patient 14 were deemed inaccessible for biopsy.
Patient 2 received a granulocytes transfusion three times a wk from month three before HSCT until 3 wk after HCST. Patient 4 received a granulocytes transfusion at the time of IFI diagnosis, but we did not find any information about either frequency of administration or the duration of treatment. Patient 5 received a granulocytes transfusion from 2 mo before HCST until 2 wk before HCST. Patient 6 received a granulocytes transfusion from 2 wk after HCST until death.
HCT-CI is a validated scoring system that assesses the risks of patients undergoing HSCT.
Patients received a fludarabine-busulfan based platform including RIC dose (busulfan = 9.6 mg/kg i.v., n = 12) and RTC dose (busulfan = 12.8 mg/kg i.v.).
Ciclosporin was initiated from day 1 before reinfusion and stopped on day 180 after reinfusion. MMF was initiated from the day of reinfusion and stopped on day 100 after reinfusion.
Graft enhancement was defined by a resolution of aplasia and a bone marrow composition including >50% of cell donor in the chimerism analysis.
