- Cytomegalovirus infection in transplant recipients(2015) AZEVEDO, Luiz Sergio; PIERROTTI, Ligia Camera; ABDALA, Edson; COSTA, Silvia Figueiredo; STRABELLI, Tania Mara Varejao; CAMPOS, Silvia Vidal; RAMOS, Jessica Fernandes; LATIF, Acram Zahredine Abdul; LITVINOV, Nadia; MALUF, Natalya Zaidan; CAIAFFA FILHO, Helio Hehl; PANNUTI, Claudio Sergio; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; SANTOS, Vera Aparecida dos; LINARDI, Camila da Cruz Gouveia; YASUDA, Maria Aparecida Shikanai; MARQUES, Heloisa Helena de SousaCytomegalovirus infection is a frequent complication after transplantation. This infection occurs due to transmission from the transplanted organ, due to reactivation of latent infection, or after a primary infection in seronegative patients and can be defined as follows: latent infection, active infection, viral syndrome or invasive disease. This condition occurs mainly between 30 and 90 days after transplantation. In hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in particular, infection usually occurs within the first 30 days after transplantation and in the presence of graft-versus-host disease. The major risk factors are when the recipient is cytomegalovirus seronegative and the donor is seropositive as well as when lymphocyte-depleting antibodies are used. There are two methods for the diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection: the pp65 antigenemia assay and polymerase chain reaction. Serology has no value for the diagnosis of active disease, whereas histology of the affected tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage analysis are useful in the diagnosis of invasive disease. Cytomegalovirus disease can be prevented by prophylaxis (the administration of antiviral drugs to all or to a subgroup of patients who are at higher risk of viral replication) or by preemptive therapy (the early diagnosis of viral replication before development of the disease and prescription of antiviral treatment to prevent the appearance of clinical disease). The drug used is intravenous or oral ganciclovir; oral valganciclovir; or, less frequently, valacyclovir. Prophylaxis should continue for 90 to 180 days. Treatment is always indicated in cytomegalovirus disease, and the gold-standard drug is intravenous ganciclovir. Treatment should be given for 2 to 3 weeks and should be continued for an additional 7 days after the first negative result for viremia.
- Pediatric lung transplantation: 10 years of experience(2014) CAMARGO, Priscila C. L. B.; PATO, Eduardo Z. S.; CAMPOS, Silvia V.; AFONSO JR., Jose E.; CARRARO, Rafael M.; COSTA, Andre N.; TEIXEIRA, Ricardo H. O. B.; SAMANO, Marcos N.; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo M.Lung transplantation is a well-established treatment for advanced lung diseases. In children, the diseases that most commonly lead to the need for a transplantation are cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, and bronchiolitis. However, the number of pediatric lung transplantations being performed is low compared with the number of transplants performed in the adult age group. The objective of this study was to demonstrate our experience with pediatric lung transplants over a 10-year period in a program initially designed for adults.

- A Brazilian university hospital position regarding transplantation criteria for HIV-positive patients according to the current literature(2019) PIERROTTI, Lígia Camera; LITVINOV, Nadia; COSTA, Silvia Figueiredo; AZEVEDO, Luiz Sérgio Fonseca de; STRABELLI, Tânia Mara Varejão; CAMPOS, Silvia Vidal; ODONGO, Fatuma Catherine Atieno; REUSING-JUNIOR, Jose Otto; SONG, Alice Tung Wan; LOPES, Max Igor Banks Ferreira; BATISTA, Marjorie Vieira; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; MALUF, Natalya Zaidan; CAIAFFA-FILHO, Hélio Helh; DE OLIVEIRA, Maura Salarolli; SOUSA MARQUES, Heloisa Helena de; ABDALA, EdsonHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was considered a contraindication for solid organ transplantation (SOT) in the past. However, HIV management has improved since highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) became available in 1996, and the long-term survival of patients living with HIV has led many transplant programs to reevaluate their policies regarding the exclusion of patients with HIV infection. Based on the available data in the medical literature and the cumulative experience of transplantation in HIV-positive patients at our hospital, the aim of the present article is to outline the criteria for transplantation in HIV-positive patients as recommended by the Immunocompromised Host Committee of the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of São Paulo.
- Use of hepatitis C-positive donors in transplantation(2012) ABDALA, Edson; AZEVEDO, Luis Sergio Fonseca de; CAMPOS, Silvia Vidal; CARAMORI, Marlova Luzzi; COSTA, Silvia Figueiredo; STRABELLI, Tania Mara Varejao; PIERROTTI, Ligia Camera; VARKULJA, Glaucia Fernanda; ALMEIDA, Gisele Madeira Duboc de; SHIKANAI-YASUDA, Maria Aparecida
- Burkholderia cepacia, cystic fibrosis and outcomes following lung transplantation: experiences from a single center in Brazil(2018) CARRARO, Danila de Souza; CARRARO, Rafael Medeiros; CAMPOS, Silvia Vidal; IUAMOTO, Leandro Ryuchi; BRAGA, Karina Andrighetti de Oliveira; OLIVEIRA, Lea Campos de; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; ROSSI, Flavia; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo ManuelOBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of Burkholderia cepacia complex colonization in cystic fibrosis patients undergoing lung transplantation. METHODS: We prospectively analyzed clinical data and respiratory tract samples (sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage) collected from suppurative lung disease patients between January 2008 and November 2013. We also subtyped different Burkholderia cepacia complex genotypes via DNA sequencing using primers against the recA gene in samples collected between January 2012 and November 2013. RESULTS: From 2008 to 2013, 34 lung transplants were performed on cystic fibrosis patients at our center. Burkholderia cepacia complex was detected in 13 of the 34 (38.2%) patients. Seven of the 13 (53%) strains were subjected to genotype analysis, from which three strains of B. metallica and four strains of B. cenocepacia were identified. The mortality rate was 1/13 (7.6%), and this death was not related to B. cepacia infection. CONCLUSION: The results of our study suggest that colonization by B. cepacia complex and even B. cenocepacia in patients with cystic fibrosis should not be considered an absolute contraindication to lung transplantation in Brazilian centers.
