    Abstract Management of the exposure of pediatric oncology patients to varicella zoster virus (VZV) is controversial. We report the exposure of 56 patients to a single child with chicken pox at a pediatric cancer housing facility and describe our strategic approach for their management. We reviewed the immune and clinical status of 56 children with cancer receiving ongoing treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) who, while living at a pediatric cancer housing facility, were exposed to the index patient. The management of patients exposed included: (1) determination of immune status, (2) availability of vaccination history or VZV disease prophylaxis, (3) exposure status and subsequent isolation during the period of incubation, and (4) VZV disease prophylaxis. In addition to the 56 patients exposed to the index case, eight children with cancer treated at other facilities and 11 healthy siblings living in the facility were exposed. Of the 56 MSK patients, 21 were classified as immunosuppressed and received varicella zoster immune globulin (human), intravenous standard immune globulin, or acyclovir based on serostatus and immune function. The cohort was followed for 4 weeks after the exposure and no secondary infections were diagnosed. We performed a risk assessment and created a management plan to control and prevent further exposure and development of disease. No secondary cases developed. This strategic approach could serve as a model for the management of VZV exposure for other pediatric oncology centers.

    Abstract Cases are presented that raise the issue of how to recognize treatment failure, including radiologic, serologic, and/or clinical definitions with special attention to assessment when available information is conflicting or ambiguous. Just as the diagnosis of invasive aspergillus (IA) remains difficult to secure for many patients, so too is the assessment of a patient for possible treatment failure. Specifically the absence of a sensitive surrogate marker to monitor response leaves clinicians with several insensitive, non-specific and often conflicting pieces of information. For example, CT evidence of response is well-described to lag at least a week behind patient improvement and so this modality cannot be relied upon to assess daily or even weekly patient response. The clinical assessment of the patient is complicated by the presence or absence of neutropenia since patients may appear to worsen as their neutropenia recovers; conversely, patients with advanced infection may exhibit only subtle signs of IA if profoundly immunosuppressed. Finally, IA does not respond to any antifungal quickly; thus the clinician must patiently wait longer than is typical for a bacterial infection to determine whether the response is slow or simply not present. Assessment of a patient with IA for treatment failure is a complicated determination that requires the clinician to synthesize incomplete and often conflicting information. Further adding to the difficulty are the morbidity and mortality of the disease and the relative lack of effectiveness of the available antifungal agents.
