    Abstract Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in primary immunodeficiency disorders has come a long way since the first transplant in 1968. In India, pediatric stem cell transplantation long-term survival outcomes range from 62.5% to 75%, compared to 90% in high-income countries.
    Objective: We present single-center data of primary immunodeficiency transplants with immune-reconstitution evaluation after transplantation from a charitable trust hospital.
    Methods: Retrospective data of children transplanted for primary immunodeficiency disorders from March 2019 to March 2022 in a newly established transplant unit were collected. Data of pretransplant infections and comorbidities, surveillance for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, transplant characteristics, donor source, graft-versus-host disease, posttransplant infections, immune reconstitution, overall survival at 1 year, and immunodeficiency-free survival were collated.
    Results: Twenty-one patients underwent transplantation for primary immunodeficiency disorders. The median age at transplantation was 3 years and 5 months (range, 7 months to 17 years). Seventy-five percent of the cohort had organ involvement, with lung being the most common organ involved, followed by central nervous system. Fifty-two percent of children had peritransplant infections, with most of them recognized at the pretransplant assessment. Among 20 of 21 children with engraftment, 94% had complete chimerism initially, with 33% developing mixed chimerism over time. The median duration of immunosuppression was 3 months after transplantation, and only 1 child required systemic graft-versus-host disease treatment for more than a year. Immune-reconstitution showed good T-cell recovery at 3 months and naive T-cell production at 6 months. There was no regimen-related or sepsis-related mortality. Overall survival of the cohort was 95% at 1-year follow-up. Immunodeficiency-free survival was 86% after a median follow-up of 20 months.
    Conclusions: Immunodeficiency-free and graft-versus-host disease-free survival can be achieved in the majority of children with primary immunodeficiencies using enhanced supportive care and the latest transplantation algorithms.

    Abstract Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) (MIS-C) in children is being increasingly reported across the world.
    Materials and methods: Children fulfilling the World Health Organization criteria of MIS-C needing pediatric intensive care unit between April 15 and July 26, 2020 were studied.
    Results: There were 21 patients with median age of 7 years [interquartile range (IQR) 1.9-12.1], of which 11 were females. SARS-CoV-2 real-time polymerase chain reaction positive in 8/21 and/or antibody positive 16/21. Fever was present in all patients, and gastrointestinal symptoms being second most frequent (16/21). One child had aplastic anemia, while the rest had no comorbidities. Nearly all presented with shock (
    Conclusion: In our cohort, MIS-C was seen in previously healthy children with fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, and shock. Early and aggressive management of shock and immune modulation with methyl-prednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin were used.
