Fulminant isolated adenovirus hepatitis 5 months after haplo-identical HSCT for AML.
The principal limitation of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation except relapse remains the transplant-related mortality (TRM). In addition to graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), infections contribute to TRM in many patients. We describe herein a case of an adult patient presenting 5 months after haplo-identical transplantation an isolated fulminant hepatitis due to adenovirus.
