MMWR Reports & Recommendations MMWR Vol. 49/No. RR-10 Guidelines for Preventing Opportunistic Infections Among Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients: Recommendations of CDC, the Infectious Disease Society of America, and the American Society of Blood and Marrow TransplantationThese guidelines were created with the assistance of a working group of experts in
infectious diseases, transplantation, and public health. For the purposes of this report,
hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is defined as any transplantation of blood- or
marrow-derived hematopoietic stem cells, regardless of transplant type (i.e., allogeneic or
autologous) or cell source (i.e., bone marrow, peripheral blood, or placental or umbilical
cord blood). The guidelines were developed for use by HSCT recipients, their household and
close contacts, transplant and infectious diseases physicians, HSCT center personnel, and
public health professionals. |
