Título : CMV Reactivation Following Allogeneic Transplantation in Children From a High-Seroprevalence Population: A Single-Center Experience in Colombia Tipo de documento : documento electrónico Autores : Laura Fernanda Niño Serna, Autor ; Alejandro Díaz Díaz, Autor ; Mónica Rosa Trujillo Honeysberg, Autor ; Natalia Builes R., Autor ; Arias, Andrés, Autor ; Aristizábal, Beatriz H, Autor Fecha de publicación : 2025 Títulos uniformes : Pediatric Transplantation Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave : CMV; cytomegalovirus infection; haploidentical; hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; pediatrics; transplantation Resumen : Introduction: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a frequent complication among hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Data regarding CMV reactivation in children in underdeveloped countries is scarce. This is especially notable considering the increasing utilization of haploidentical-related HSCT with the post-transplant cyclophosphamide platform. This study aimed to describe the incidence, clinical characteristics, and evolution of children with CMV reactivation after HSCT and the possible impact of unmanipulated stem cells with PTCy for GvHD prophylaxis. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from January 2012 to June 2022. Baseline characteristics and the clinical course were described. Duration of treatment, initial viral load, and time to clearance of DNAemia by type of transplant were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Survival analysis was performed with the Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test. All statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software, version 20.0. Results: One hundred sixty-six children were included. Among them, 87% of recipients and 88% of donors were CMV positive. The cumulative incidence of cytomegalovirus DNAemia was 28% at 100 days post-transplantation. There were no differences between different donor types. Overall survival at 1 year was 60%, and non-relapse mortality was observed in 28%. CMV reactivation did not appear to negatively impact 1-year overall survival (OS). Conclusions: Our study found no differences in CMV reactivation rates, treatment duration, viral clearance times, co-infections, or 1-year overall survival across different HSCT donor types. Studies are needed to establish more precise criteria for monitoring recipients, particularly in regions where unmanipulated stem cells with PTCy for GvHD prophylaxis are increasing. © 2025 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Methods We included hospitalized children with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection from Colombian and Spanish institutions to assess disease evolution and outcomes. Cluster analysis was performed to identify clinical phenotypes. Results A total of 2318 patients were included (55% male, 36% infants). Five phenotype clusters emerged: Cluster 1 (26.5%): infants without comorbidities, low PICU admissions and mortality; Cluster 2 (18.5%): respiratory comorbidities, high microorganism co-detection and mortality; Cluster 3 (11.5%): fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, high PICU admissions; Cluster 4 (32%): mild unspecific symptoms, low mortality; Cluster 5 (11.3%): adolescents without comorbidities, low co-detection and hospitalization rates. Findings were consistent across both countries. Conclusion Identifying clinical phenotypes of SARS-CoV-2 in children may improve risk stratification and guide future management strategies.

In this context, imaging diagnostics, such as chest x-rays, are crucial to the initial treatment of patients. This study aims to characterize the radiological findings in pediatric patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in Colombia between April 2020 and November 2021, as well as describe the clinical presentation, including those admission to intensive care. Methods: In Colombia, a multicenter cohort comprised patients aged 29 days to 17 years with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and chest X-ray taken within 72 h of hospitalization. In two separate groups, four radiologists evaluated the images. A fifth radiologist reviewed all the X-rays; and subsequently, these readings were used to calculate the kappa coefficient and to solve discrepancies among the other radiologists. The results were compared from admission to intensive care. Results: Analysis was conducted on 392 patients with a median age of 2 years, the majority of whom (42%) were infants. Sixty-eight percent of the radiographs had normal results. Peribronchial thickening and interstitial opacity were the most common aberrant findings (59%), followed by alveolar opacity (12%). 88 percent of findings were bilateral. In our cohort, peribronchial thickening was the most common radiological pattern found in patients admitted the PICU and with ventilatory failure. Interobserver agreement was low for peribronchial thickening (kappa = 0.1), but higher for consolidations and alveolar opacities (kappa = 0.4 and 0.5, respectively). Conclusion: In pediatric patients with SARS-CoV-2, radiological findings are nonspecific and interobserver agreement is minimal. Although consolidation and alveolar opacities demonstrated greater concordance, they did not appear to reflect the clinical presentation; therefore, our results can suggest chest radiography is not considered useful for determining the severity of COVID-19 in Mención de responsabilidad : Claudia Burgos, Laura Melissa Mendez, María Margarita Rodriguez, Arianna Martinez, Paola Sanchez, Carolina Tovar, Melisa Naranjo Vanegas, Gabriela Friedrich, Pablo Vásquez Hoyos, María Lucía Mesa Rubio, Referencia : Pediatr Pulmonol . 2025 Mar;60(3):e27495. doi: 10.1002/ppul.27495.

In this study, we describe the clinical characteristics of pediatric patients with cancer and COVID-19 from multiple Latin American centers and risk factors associated with mortality in this population. Methods: This study is a multicenter, prospective cohort study conducted at 12 hospitals from 6 Latin American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras and Peru) from April to November 2021. Patients younger than 14 years of age that had an oncological diagnosis and COVID-19 or multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) who were treated in the inpatient setting were included. The primary exposure was the diagnosis and treatment status, and the primary outcome was mortality. We defined “new diagnosis” as patients with no previous diagnosis of cancer, “established diagnosis” as patients with cancer and ongoing treatment and “relapse” as patients with cancer and ongoing treatment that had a prior cancer-free period. A frequentist analysis was performed including a multivariate logistic regression for mortality. Results: Two hundred and ten patients were included in the study; 30 (14%) died during the study period and 67% of patients who died were admitted to critical care.
