Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation increases treatment-related mortality (TRM) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). We analyzed 141 adult acute leukemia (AL) patients suffered allo-HCT between 2017 and 2021, who developed CMV viremia post-HCT and treated with valganciclovir or foscarnet, to evaluate effectiveness and safety of both drugs. Viremia clearance rates (14 and 21 d post treatment) and toxicities were similar in two groups. However, valganciclovir was associated with a lower cumulative incidence of CMV recurrence within 180 days (16.7% vs. 35.7%, p=0.029) post CMV clearance. Finally, 2-year TRM was lower in valganciclovir group (9.7% ± 0.2% vs. 26.2% ± 0.3%, p = 0.026), result a superior 2-year overall survival (OS; 88.1% ± 5.2% vs. 64.4% ± 5.5%, p = 0.005) and leukemia-free survival (LFS; 82.0% ± 5.9% vs. 58.9% ± 5.6%, p = 0.009). Valganciclovir might decrease CMV viremia recurrence and led to better long-term outcome than foscarnet in adult AL patients developed CMV viremia post-HCT. Considering the inherent biases of retrospective study, well-designed trials are warranted to validate our conclusion.

Abstract
AIMS Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an effective treatment for hematological malignancies. However, viral infections, particularly EBV infection, frequently occur following allo-HSCT and can result in multi-tissue and organ damage. Due to the lack of effective antiviral drugs, these infections can even progress to post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD), thereby impacting the prognosis. In light of this, our objective is to develop a prediction model for EBV infection following allo-HSCT. METHODS A total of 466 patients who underwent haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) between September 2019 and December 2020 were included in this study. The patients were divided into a development cohort and a validation cohort based on the timing of their transplantation. Our aim was to develop and validate a grading scale using these cohorts to predict the risk of EBV infection within the first year after haplo-HSCT. Additionally, single-cell RNA sequencing (sc-RNAseq) data from the bone marrow of healthy donors were utilized to assess the impact of age on immune cells and viral infection. RESULTS In the multivariate logistic regression model, four predictors were retained: donor age, female-to-male transplant, graft MNC (mononuclear cell) dose, and CD8 dose. Based on these predictors, an EBV reactivation predicting score system was constructed. The scoring system demonstrated good calibration in both the derivation and validation cohorts, as confirmed by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test (p > 0.05). The scoring system also exhibited favorable discriminative ability, as indicated by the C statistics of 0.72 in the derivation cohort and 0.60 in the validation cohort. Furthermore, the clinical efficacy of the scoring system was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves based on risk ratings. The results showed significant differences in EBV reactivation rates between different risk groups, with p-values less than 0.001 in both the derivation and validation cohorts, indicating robust clinical utility. The analysis of sc-RNAseq data from the bone marrow of healthy donors revealed that older age had a profound impact on the quantity and quality of immune subsets. Functional enrichment analysis highlighted that older age was associated with a higher risk of infection. Specifically, CD8 + T cells from older individuals showed enrichment in the pathway of "viral carcinogenesis", while older CD14 + monocytes exhibited enrichment in the pathway of "regulation of viral entry into host cell." These findings suggest that older age may contribute to an increased susceptibility to viral infections, as evidenced by the altered immune profiles observed in the sc-RNAseq data. CONCLUSION Overall, these results demonstrate the development and validation of an effective scoring system for predicting EBV reactivation after haplo-HSCT, and provide insights into the impact of age on immune subsets and viral infection susceptibility based on sc-RNAseq analysis of healthy donors' bone marrow.

Abstract
The quality of immune reconstitution (IR) is crucial for the outcome of patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and is closely connected with infection, relapse and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) which are the most important causes for transplantation failure. However, the IR pattern in the early stage after allo-HSCT, particularly haploidentical (HID) HSCT, remains unclear. In this retrospective study, we examined the T cell reconstitution of patients within the initial 30 days (n = 173) and 100 days (n = 122) after allo-HSCT with myeloablative condition (MAC), of which > 70% were HID HSCT, to assess the influence of IR on the transplant outcomes. By comparing 78 patients with good IR (GIR) to 44 patients with poor IR (PIR), we observed that GIR was associated with lower risk for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation and cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation, but had no significant impacts on the survival outcomes (i.e., overall survival, event-free survival) and cumulative incidences of GvHD. Importantly, we found lymphocyte reconstitution pattern at day 30 after allo-HSCT would be a surrogate for IR evaluated at day 100. In the Cox proportional hazard model, early reconstitution of CD4+, CD4+CD25+, CD4+CD45RO+, CD4+CD25+CD27low, and CD8+ T cells at day 30 was reversely correlated with risk of EBV reactivation. Finally, we constructed a predictive model for EBV reactivation with CD8+ and CD4+CD45RO+ T cell proportions of the training cohort (n = 102), which was validated with a validation cohort (n = 37). In summary, our study found that the quality of IR at day 30 had a predictive value for the risk of EBV reactivation, and might provide guidance for close monitoring for EBV reactivation.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers the highest curative potential for patients with hematological malignancies. Complications including infection, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and relapse reflect delayed or dysregulated immune reconstitution. After transplantation, NK cells rapidly reconstitute and are crucial for immune surveillance and immune tolerance. NK cell function is tightly regulated by killer immunoglobin-like receptors (KIRs). Previous studies have revealed that donor KIRs, especially some activated KIRs (aKIRs) are closely related to transplant outcomes. Here, we performed a retrospective study, including 323 patients who received haploidentical (haplo) HSCT in our center. In univariate analysis, donor KIR2DS1, KIR2DS3 and KIR3DS1 gene protected patients with lymphoid disease from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation, while donor KIR2DS1, KIR2DS5 and KIR3DS1 gene conferred a higher risk of CMV reactivation for patients with myeloid disease. Multivariate analysis confirmed that donor telomeric (Tel) B/x and KIR2DS3 gene best protected patients with lymphoid disease from EBV (p = 0.017) and CMV reactivation (p = 0.004). In myeloid disease, grafts lacking Tel B/x and KIR2DS5 gene correlated with the lowest risk of CMV reactivation (p = 0.018). Besides, donor aKIR genes did not influence the rates of GVHD, relapse, non-relapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS) in this study. The reactivation of EBV and CMV was associated with poor prognosis of haplo-HSCT. In conclusion, we found that donor aKIR genes might have a synergistic effect on CMV and EBV reactivation after haplo-HSCT. Whether the influence of donor aKIR genes varies with disease types remained to be studied.

Abstract
Introduction The avidity of the T-cell receptor (TCR) for antigenic peptides presented by the MHC (pMHC) on cells is an essential parameter for efficient T cell-mediated immunity. Yet, whether the TCR-ligand avidity can drive the clonal evolution of virus antigen-specific CD8 T cells, and how this process is determined in latent Cytomegalovirus (CMV)- against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-mediated infection remains largely unknown. Methods To address these issues, we quantified monomeric TCR-pMHC dissociation rates on CMV- and EBV-specific individual TCRαβ clonotypes and polyclonal CD8 T cell populations in healthy donors over a follow-up time of 15-18 years. The parameters involved during the long-term persistence of virus-specific T cell clonotypes were further evaluated by gene expression profiling, phenotype and functional analyses. Results Within CMV/pp65-specific T cell repertoires, a progressive contraction of clonotypes with high TCR-pMHC avidity and low CD8 binding dependency was observed, leading to an overall avidity decline during long-term antigen exposure. We identified a unique transcriptional signature preferentially expressed by high-avidity CMV/pp65-specific T cell clonotypes, including the inhibitory receptor LILRB1. Interestingly, T cell clonotypes of high-avidity showed higher LILRB1 expression than the low-avidity ones and LILRB1 blockade moderately increased T cell proliferation. Similar findings were made for CD8 T cell repertoires specific for the CMV/IE-1 epitope. There was a gradual in vivo loss of high-avidity T cells with time for both CMV specificities, corresponding to virus-specific CD8 T cells expressing enhanced LILRB1 levels. In sharp contrast, the EBV/BMFL1-specific T cell clonal composition and distribution, once established, displayed an exceptional stability, unrelated to TCR-pMHC binding avidity or LILRB1 expression. Conclusions These findings reveal an overall long-term avidity decline of CMV- but not EBV-specific T cell clonal repertoires, highlighting the differing role played by TCR-ligand avidity over the course of these two latent herpesvirus infections. Our data further suggest that the inhibitor receptor LILRB1 potentially restricts the clonal expansion of high-avidity CMV-specific T cell clonotypes during latent infection. We propose that the mechanisms regulating the long-term outcome of CMV- and EBV-specific memory CD8 T cell clonotypes in humans are distinct.

Abstract
Although cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are considered latent viruses, their reactivation occurs in immunosuppressed conditions. We previously reported that CMV and EBV are reactivated in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy and/or chemotherapy. This retrospective, single-center study aimed to determine the frequency of viral reactivation and clinical characteristics of patients with B cell lymphoma (B-ML) receiving chemotherapy. Twenty-four patients (mean age 73 years, range 40-87 years; male-to-female ratio, 15:9) with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (n = 15), follicular lymphoma (n = 8), or mantle cell lymphoma (n = 1) were enrolled. Serum CMV and EBV DNA levels were analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in patients with B-ML receiving chemotherapy. We determined the cumulative reactivation of each virus and analyzed the relationship between viral reactivation and clinical characteristics. Three patients experienced relapse or refractory (R/R) disease and the others had de novo lymphomas. The frequencies of CMV and EBV reactivations were 54.2% and 37.5%, respectively. CMV reactivation occurred significantly earlier during chemotherapy courses in R/R patients than in de novo patients (p = 0.0038), while EBV reactivation was frequently found before treatment. Baseline serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor were higher (4318.0 vs. 981.1 U/mL, p = 0.010) and hemoglobin levels were lower (11.1 vs. 13.0 g/dL, p = 0.0038) in patients with EBV reactivation than in those without reactivation. These findings were not observed in patients with CMV reactivation. CMV reactivation was associated with iatrogenic immunosuppression, whereas EBV reactivation was related to immunosuppression by lymphoma, indicating that the mechanisms of these viral reactivations differed.

Abstract
Metagenomics revealed novel and routinely overlooked viruses, representing sources of unrecognized infections after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We aim to describe DNA and RNA virus prevalence and kinetics in allo-HSCT recipients' plasma for one year post HSCT. We included 109 adult patients with first allo-HSCT from 1 March 2017 to 31 January 2019 in this observational cohort study. Seventeen DNA and three RNA viral species were screened with qualitative and/or quantitative r(RT)-PCR assays using plasma samples collected at 0, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post HSCT. TTV infected 97% of patients, followed by HPgV-1 (prevalence: 26-36%). TTV (median 3.29 × 105 copies/mL) and HPgV-1 (median 1.18 × 106 copies/mL) viral loads peaked at month 3. At least one Polyomaviridae virus (BKPyV, JCPyV, MCPyV, HPyV6/7) was detected in >10% of patients. HPyV6 and HPyV7 prevalence reached 27% and 12% at month 3; CMV prevalence reached 27%. HSV, VZV, EBV, HHV-7, HAdV and B19V prevalence remained <5%. HPyV9, TSPyV, HBoV, EV and HPg-V2 were never detected. At month 3, 72% of patients had co-infections. TTV and HPgV-1 infections were highly prevalent. BKPyV, MCPyV and HPyV6/7 were frequently detected relative to classical culprits. Further investigation is needed into associations between these viral infections and immune reconstitution or clinical outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection continues to negatively impact the prognosis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), even with active monitoring and preemptive strategies. Recent progress in pharmacology, immunotherapy, and vaccines has improved the strategy of CMV management. AREAS COVERED We summarized recent advances in managing CMV infection post allo-HSCT, including diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment. In this review, we mainly focused on approaches that have optimized or might optimize the management of CMV infection after allo-HSCT. EXPERT OPINION In our opinion, optimized management covers aspects including the serial monitoring of CMV-DNA and CMI, an accurate diagnosis, effective prophylaxis, and a rational preemptive therapy integrating antiviral drugs and cell therapies. Strategies based on the understanding of CMV pathogenesis and CMV-related immune reconstitution after allo-HSCT will be a direction in future studies.

Abstract
In recent years, with the gradual advancement of haploidentical transplantation technology, the availability of donors has increased significantly, along with the widespread use of reduced-intensity conditioning and the improvement of nursing techniques, giving more elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients the chance to receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We have summarized the classic and recently proposed pre-transplant assessment methods and assessed the various sources of donors, conditioning regimens, and post-transplant complication management based on the outcomes of large-scale clinical studies for elderly AML patients.

Abstract
Objective. To assess the impact of CMV and HHV-6 reactivation on the course of early post-transplant period in patients with hematologic malignancies. Materials. Retrospective analysis of medical records of 339 patients with hematologic malignancies who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was performed, and markers of CMV and HHV-6 infections were detected (specific IgG, EIA). Blood and other materials from HSCT recipients were tested (PCR) for viral DNA in early post-transplant period (up to Day 100). Results. Reactivation of viral infections after HSCT was discovered in 177 patients (52,2 %): CMV-infection was detected in 23 %, HHV-6 in 17,4 %, CMV+HHV-6 in 11,6 % of HSCT recipients. CMV DNA was predominantly identified in blood, while HHV-6 DNA was more frequently discovered in GIT mucosa and bone marrow. 40 % of 99 patients with HHV-6 reactivation had concomitant CMV+HHV-6 reactivation. In this group, the clinical manifestation of infections was registered significantly more frequently. Febrile neutropenia was more frequent in HSCT recipients with CMV reactivation, sepsis and graft hypofunction were diagnosed more frequently in presence of HHV-6 and predominantly HHV-6+CMV infections. The direct correlation (using Spearman’s method) between CMV and HHV-6 reactivation and terms of leukopoiesis recovery, engraftment terms, and transplant hypofunction was revealed. An impact of herpetic infections reactivation on the graft hypofunction and late recovery of leukopoiesis was confirmed using the logistic regression; its impact on the chimerism was revealed. In 72 % of cases, the graft failure in early post-transplant period occurred in patients with herpetic infections reactivation. Conclusion. HHV-6 and CMV reactivation in the early period after HSCT correlates with terms of leukopoiesis recovery, contributes to development of complications, and is an additional factor aggravating the course of the post-transplant period.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Reactivation of viral infections occurs frequently in immunosuppressed populations, particularly in solid organ (SOT) or allogeneic haematopoietic cell (HCT) transplant patients. Concurrent and sequential multivirus infections are common, yet risk factors and outcomes remain unclear. This review aims to identify the patients vulnerable to multivirus infections and characterize the impact of increased viral burden to formulate prevention and treatment strategies. RECENT FINDINGS Incidences of up to 89% in SOT and 36% in HCT have been reported for two viruses, and 32% in SOT and 28% in HCT for at least three viruses. Risk factors appear related to an increased burden of immunosuppression, with most viral coinfections occurring within 12 months of transplantation. Direct viral complications such as cytomegalovirus disease are more frequent in coinfected patients, with documented prolonged duration of viraemia, higher viral load and increased end-organ disease. Graft dysfunction, acute rejection and graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) have also been associated. Increased mortality is reported in the HCT population. SUMMARY Multivirus infections occur in a significant proportion of transplant patients and is linked to immunosuppressive burden. There is increasing evidence that this leads to worse graft and patient outcomes. Further prospective studies are required to further comprehensively characterise viral epidemiology, mechanisms and treatment strategies to ameliorate this risk.

Abstract
Infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality among hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Unlike Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) and Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV), Human Herpesvirus (HHV) 6, HHV7 and HHV8 are not routinely monitored in many centers, especially in the pediatric population of low–medium income countries. We screened EBV, HCMV, HHV6, HHV7 and HHV8 in 412 leukocytes-plasma paired samples from 40 pediatric patients assisted in a tertiary hospital in Mexico. Thirty-two underwent allo-HSCT, whereas eight received auto-HSCT. Overall viral detection frequencies in allo- and auto-HSCT were: EBV = 43.7% and 30.0%, HCMV = 5.0% and 6.7%, HHV6 = 7.9% and 20.0% and HHV7 = 9.7% and 23.3%. HHV8 was not detected in any sample. Interestingly, HHV6 and HHV7 were more frequent in auto-HSCT, and HHV6 was observed in all episodes of multiple detection in auto-HSCT patients. We found EBV DNA in plasma samples, whereas HCMV, HHV6 and HHV7 DNA were predominantly observed in leukocytes, indicative of their expansion in cellular compartments. We also found that IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly increased in episodes in which multiple viruses were simultaneously detected, and samples positive for EBV DNA and graft-versus-host disease had a further increase of IL-1β and IL-8. In conclusion, the EBV, HCMV, HHV6 and HHV7 burdens were frequently detected in allo- and auto-HSCT, and their presence associated with systemic inflammation.

Abstract
We aimed to identify the characteristics of immune reconstitution (IR) in patients who recovered from steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD) after basiliximab treatment. A total of 179, 124, 80, and 92 patients were included in the analysis for IR at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, respectively, after haploidentical donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HID HSCT). We observed that IR was fastest for monocytes and CD8+ T cells, followed by lymphocytes, CD3+ T cells, and CD19+ B cells and slowest for CD4+ T cells. Almost all immune cell subsets recovered comparably between patients receiving <5 doses and ≥5 doses of basiliximab. Most immune cell subsets recovered comparably between SR-aGVHD patients who recovered after basiliximab treatment and event-free HID HSCT recipients. Patients who recovered from SR-aGVHD after basiliximab treatment experienced satisfactory IR, which suggested that basiliximab may not have prolonged the negative impact on IR in these patients.

Abstract
Poor graft function (PGF) is a life-threatening complication that occurs after transplantation and has a poor prognosis. With the rapid development of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the pathogenesis of PGF has become an important issue. Studies of the pathogenesis of PGF have resulted in some success in CD34+-selected stem cell boosting. Mesenchymal stem cells, N-acetyl-l-cysteine, and eltrombopag have also been investigated as therapeutic strategies for PGF. However, predicting and preventing PGF remains challenging. Here, we propose that the seed, soil, and insect theories of aplastic anemia also apply to PGF; CD34+ cells are compared to seeds; the bone marrow microenvironment to soil; and virus infection, iron overload, and donor-specific anti-human leukocyte antigen antibodies to insects. From this perspective, we summarize the available information on the common risk factors of PGF, focusing on its potential mechanism. In addition, the safety and efficacy of new strategies for treating PGF are discussed to provide a foundation for preventing and treating this complex clinical problem.

Abstract
The co-reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been found. Research has shown that the reactivation of CMV or EBV is closely related to poor HSCT outcomes. In this study, we describe the clinical characteristics of HSCT patients with co-reactivation of CMV and EBV. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 327 patients who underwent HSCT at the Peking University People’s Hospital Institute of Hematology. Co-reactivation of CMV and EBV was observed in a total of 75 patients (22.9%) who also had a higher incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis (P=0.000). HSCT patients with CMV and co-reactivation of CMV and EBV had a significantly lower 1-year overall survival (OS; P=0.050). Further, COX regression analysis showed that viral infection was a risk factor for 1-year OS (HR, 12.625 for co-reactivation vs. no reactivation, p=0.021, and HR 13.580 for CMV reactivation vs. no reactivation, P=0.013). In conclusion, the patients with CMV reactivation had poorer outcome after HSCT regardless of EBV reactivation.

Abstract
Herpesviruses can either cause primary infection or may get reactivated after both hematopoietic cell and solid organ transplantations. In general, viral infections increase post-transplant morbidity and mortality. Prophylactic, preemptive, or therapeutically administered antiviral drugs may be associated with serious side effects and may induce viral resistance. Virus-specific T cells represent a valuable addition to antiviral treatment, with high rates of response and minimal side effects. Even low numbers of virus-specific T cells manufactured by direct selection methods can reconstitute virus-specific immunity after transplantation and control viral replication. Virus-specific T cells belong to the advanced therapy medicinal products, and their production is regulated by appropriate legislation; also, strict safety regulations are required to minimize their side effects.

Abstract
Given that randomized studies testing the long-term impact of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) dosing are scarce, we report the results of an extended follow-up from the original trial. In our prospective, multicenter, randomized trial, 408 leukemia patients 14-65 years of age who underwent haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT) under our original "Beijing Protocol" were randomly assigned one-to-one to ATG doses of 7.5 mg/kg (n = 203, ATG-7.5) or 10 mg/kg (n = 205, ATG-10.0) at four sites. Extended follow-up (median 1968 d (range: 1300-2710 d) indicated comparable 5-year probabilities of moderate-to-severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (hazard ratio (HR): 1.384, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.876-2.189, P = 0.164), nonrelapse mortality (HR: 0.814, 95% CI: 0.526-1.261, P = 0.357), relapse (HR: 1.521, 95% CI: 0.919-2.518, P = 0.103), disease-free survival (HR: 1.074, 95% CI: 0.783-1.473, P = 0.658), and GVHD-free/relapse-free survival (HR: 1.186, 95% CI: 0.904-1.555, P = 0.219) between groups (ATG-7.5 vs. ATG-10.0). The 5-year rate of late effects did not differ significantly. However, the cytomegalovirus/Epstein-Barr virus-related death rate was much higher in the ATG-10.0 cohort than in the ATG-7.5 cohort (9.8% vs. 1.5%; P = 0.003). In summary, patients undergoing haplo-HCT benefit from 7.5 mg/kg ATG compared to 10.0 mg/kg ATG based on a balance between GVHD and infection control. ATG (7.5 mg/kg) is potentially regarded as the standard regimen in the platform. These results support the optimization of ATG use in the "Beijing Protocol", especially considering the potential economic advantage in developing countries.

Abstract
γδ T cells are activated in viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. Among viruses that promote γδ T cell mobilisation in humans, herpes viruses (HHVs) occupy a particular place since they infect the majority of the human population and persist indefinitely in the organism in a latent state. Thus, other infections should, in most instances, be considered co-infections, and the reactivation of HHV is a serious confounding factor in attributing γδ T cell alterations to a particular pathogen in human diseases. We review here the literature data on γδ T cell mobilisation in HHV infections and co-infections, and discuss the possible contribution of HHVs to γδ alterations observed in various infectious settings. As multiple infections seemingly mobilise overlapping γδ subsets, we also address the concept of possible cross-protection.

Abstract
Haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT), an alternative donor source, offers a curative therapy for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are transplant candidates. Advances in transplantation techniques, such as donor selection, conditioning regimen modification, and graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, have successfully improved the outcomes of AML patients receiving haplo-SCT and extended the haploidentical transplant indictions for AML. Presently, treating de novo AML, secondary AML, therapy-related AML and refractory and relapsed AML with haplo-SCT can achieve comparable outcomes to those of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling donor transplantation (MSDT), unrelated donor transplantation or umbilical cord blood transplantation. For some subgroups of AML subjects, such as patients with positive pretransplantation minimal/measurable residual disease, recent studies suggest that haplo-SCT might be superior to MSDT in decreasing relapse and improving survival. Unfortunately, for patients with AML after haplo-SCT, relapse and infections remain the causes of death that restrict further improvement in clinical outcomes. In this review, we discuss the recent advances and challenges in haplo-SCT for AML treatment, mainly focusing on unmanipulated haplo-SCT protocols. We provide an outlook on future prospects and suggest that relapse prophylaxis, intervention, and treatment, as well as infection prevention and therapy, are areas of active research in AML patients who receive haploidentical allografts.

Abstract
Human herpesviruses (HHVs): herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), HHV-6, HHV-7, and HHV-8, are known to be part of a family of DNA viruses that cause several diseases in humans. In clinical practice of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the complication of CMV enterocolitis, which is caused by CMV reactivation under disruption of intestinal barrier function, inflammation, or strong immunosuppressive therapy, is well known to affect the prognosis of disease. However, the relationship between other HHVs and IBD remains unclear. In the transplantation field, reactivation of other viruses, such as HHV-6, could cause colitis under immunosuppressed condition. Recent research revealed that combined infection of some HHVs could be a risk factor for colectomy in patients with ulcerative colitis. This suggests that it would be important to clarify HHV behavior in the treatment for patients with IBD, especially in those under immunosuppressive therapies. Looking at the relationship with recently emerged novel coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-2), there are reports describe that SARS-CoV-2 might induce reactivation of HSV-1, EBV, VZV (herpes zoster), and HHV-6/7. If SARS-CoV-2 infection becomes common, vigilance against HHV reactivation may become more crucial. In this review, we discuss the impact of HHVs in clinical practice of inflammatory bowel diseases, especially during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
