摘要
Objective： To explore the risk factors and prophylaxis and treatment of cytomegalovirus interstitial pneumonitis （CMV-IP） after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation （allo-PBSCT）. Methods： 43 patients who received allo-PBSCT were allocated to either a Gancyclovir（GCV）-prophylaxis group （n=19） or a non-GCV prophylaxis group （n=24）. A comparison was made of the incidence of CMV-IP in patients given or not given prophylactic gancyclovir. Results： 9 patients in non-GCV prophylaxis group developed late CMV-IP （P〈0.05）. Graft-versus-host-disease （GVHD） may be associated with a high risk of CMV-IP. 5 cases of CMV-IP were successfully treated with GCV, but 3 cases died of CMV-IP. The most common adverse event of GCV was neutropenia, but was reversible. Conclusion： CMV infection was a major cause of interstitial pneumonitis after allo-PBSCT, which correlated strongly with the severity of GVHD. Gancyclovir was shown to be effective in both prophylaxis and treatment of CMV-IP.
