Among 292 recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (2018-2022), 64 (21.9%) tested positive for anti-hepatitis E virus (HEV) immunoglobulin G. Among 208 recipients tested by plasma/serum HEV polymerase chain reaction (2012-2022), 3 (1.4%) primary HEV infections were diagnosed; in 1 patient, plasma HEV polymerase chain reaction relapsed positive for 100 days. HEV infection remains rare albeit associated with persistent viral replication.

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Tissue Transplantation01:24

Tissue Transplantation

Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
The Biology of Tissue Transplantation
The biology of tissue transplantation hinges on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules. These molecules...
