    Abstract Background: Biallelic mutations in the dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (
    Objective: Here we have sought to devise a strategy for reducing the possibility of mixed chimerism without increasing the risk of transplant-related mortality.
    Methods: To balance the risk of transplant-related mortality and mixed chimerism, we used treosulfan-based reduced toxicity conditioning with a high CD34
    Results: We are able to report that by using the aforementioned novel strategy, we achieved excellent transplant outcomes in the first cohort of high-risk patients with DOCK8 deficiency from India.
    Conclusion: High CD34

    Abstract Although graft T cells assist in engraftment, mediate antiviral immune-reconstitution, and cause graft-versus-host disease, graft size is not determined by T-cell content of the graft. The conventional method of graft size determination based on CD34+ cells with alemtuzumab serotherapy is associated with delayed immune reconstitution, contributing to an increased risk of viral infections and graft failure. Alemtuzumab, a long half-life anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody is a robust T-cell depleting serotherapy, and relatively spares memory-effector T cells compared to naïve T cells. We therefore hypothesized that graft size based on T-cell content in patients receiving peripheral blood stem cell graft with alemtuzumab serotherapy would facilitate immune-reconstitution without increasing the risk of graft-versus-host disease. We retrospectively analysed twenty-six consecutive patients with non-malignant disorders grafted using alemtuzumab serotherapy and capping of graft T cells to a maximum of 600 million/kg. The graft T-cell capping protocol resulted in early immune-reconstitution without increasing the risk of severe graft-versus-host disease. Graft T-cell content correlated with CD4+ T-cell reconstitution and acute graft-versus-host disease. The course of CMV viraemia was predictable without recurrence and associated with early T-cell recovery. No patient developed chronic graft-versus-host disease. Overall survival at one year was 100% and disease-free survival was 96% at a median of 899 days (range: 243-1562). Graft size determined by peripheral blood stem cell graft T-cell content in patients receiving alemtuzumab serotherapy for non-malignant disorders is safe and leads to early T-cell immune-reconstitution with excellent survival outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is an endothelial injury syndrome linked to the overactivation of complement pathways. It manifests with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, consumptive thrombocytopenia, and microvascular thrombosis leading to ischemic tissue injury. Mannose residues on fungi and viruses activate the mannose-binding lectin complement pathway, and hence activation of the lectin pathway could be one of the reasons for triggering TA-TMA. Narsoplimab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting MASP-2 is a potent inhibitor of the lectin pathway. We describe the transplant course of a pediatric patient who developed TA-TMA following Candida-triggered macrophage activation syndrome and was treated with Narsoplimab. The data collection was performed prospectively.
    Case presentation: The six-year-old girl underwent a human leucocyte antigen (HLA) haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant using post-transplant Cyclophosphamide for severe aplastic anemia. In the second week of the transplant, the patient developed macrophage activation syndrome necessitating treatment with steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin. Subsequently, USG abdomen and blood fungal PCR revealed the diagnosis of hepatosplenic candidiasis. Candida-triggered macrophage activation syndrome responded to antifungals, steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, and alemtuzumab. However, the subsequent clinical course was complicated by thrombotic microangiopathy. The patient developed hypertension in the 2nd week, followed by high lactate dehydrogenase (1010 U/L), schistocytes (5 per hpf), low haptoglobin (< 5 mg/dl), thrombocytopenia, and anemia in the 3rd week. Ciclosporin was stopped, and the patient was treated with 10 days of defibrotide without response. The course was further complicated by the involvement of the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys. She had per rectal bleeding with frequent but low-volume stools, severe abdominal pain, and hypoalbuminemia with a rising urine protein:creatinine ratio. Narsoplimab was started in the 5th week of the transplant. A fall in lactate dehydrogenase was observed after starting Narsoplimab. This was followed by the resolution of gastrointestinal symptoms, proteinuria, and recovery of cytopenia. The second episode of TA-TMA occurred with parvoviraemia and was also successfully treated with Narsoplimab.
    Conclusion: Lectin pathway inhibition could be useful in treating the fatal complication of transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate if Healthcare workers (HCWs) at the frontline of COVID-19 response in a pediatric hospital are at an increased risk of acquiring SARS-CoV-2.
    Methods: The Hospital Infection Control Committee (HICC) and virology testing records were combined to identify SARS-CoV-2 positive HCWs and study the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 over 6 months.
    Results: COVID-19 cases in our HCWs cohort rose and declined parallel to community cases. Forty two out of 534 HCWs (8%) were SARS-CoV-2 positive with no fatalities. No clinical staff in the special COVID ward or ICU was positive. Significant proportion of non-clinical staff (30%) were SARS-CoV-2 positive. About 70% of SARS-CoV-2 positive staff had likely community acquisition, with a significant proportion having travelled by public transport or having a contact history with a positive case in the community. Twenty four percent of positive staff were asymptomatic and detected positive on re-joining test.
    Conclusions: Sustained transmission of SARS-CoV-2 did not occur in our cohort beyond community transmission. Appropriate PPE use, strict and constantly improving infection control measures and testing of both clinical and non-clinical staff were essential methods for restricting transmission amongst HCWs.

    Abstract The diagnosis of blood-borne infections in immunocompromised patients is a major challenge for the clinical microbiology laboratory. Isolation of bloodborne pathogens in these patients has profound clinical implications, yet is fraught with technical problems, including the presence of unusual and difficult to isolate pathogens. Coupled with this is the problem of false-positive blood culture signals from automated blood culture systems which further delays the definitive diagnosis. Here, we present a case of an 8-year-old boy with Ph +ve acute lymphoblastic leukaemia who has repeated 'false positive' blood cultures and later grew an uncommon organism.

    Abstract The energy metabolism of myeloid cells depends primarily on glycolysis. 1,5-Anhydroglucitol (1,5AG), a natural monosaccharide, is erroneously phosphorylated by glucose-phosphorylating enzymes to produce 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate (1,5AG6P), a powerful inhibitor of hexokinases. The endoplasmic reticulum transporter (SLC37A4/G6PT) and the phosphatase G6PC3 cooperate to dephosphorylate 1,5AG6P. Failure to eliminate 1,5AG6P is the mechanism of neutrophil dysfunction and death in G6PC3-deficient mice. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SLGT2) inhibitor reduces 1,5AG level in the blood and restores the neutrophil count in G6PC3-deficient mice. In the investigator-initiated study, a 30-year-old G6PC3-deficient woman with recurrent infections, distressing gastrointestinal symptoms, and multi-lineage cytopenia was treated with an SLGT2-inhibitor. A significant increase in all the hematopoietic cell lineages and substantial improvement in the quality of life was observed.
