Abstract
Intestinal permeability may correlate with adverse outcomes during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but longitudinal quantification with traditional oral mannitol and lactulose is not feasible in HSCT recipients because of mucositis and diarrhea. A modified lactulose:rhamnose (LR) assay is validated in children with environmental enteritis. Our study objective was to quantify peri-HSCT intestinal permeability changes using the modified LR assay. The LR assay was administered before transplant, at day +7 and +30 to 80 pediatric and young adult patients who received allogeneic HSCT. Lactulose and rhamnose were detected using urine mass spectrometry and expressed as an L:R ratio. Metagenomic shotgun sequencing of stool for microbiome analyses and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analyses of plasma lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), ST2, REG3α, claudin1, occludin, and intestinal alkaline phosphatase were performed at the same timepoints. L:R ratios were increased at day +7 but returned to baseline at day +30 in most patients (P = .014). Conditioning regimen intensity did not affect the trajectory of L:R (P = .39). Baseline L:R ratios did not vary with diagnosis. L:R correlated with LBP levels (r2 = 0.208; P = .0014). High L:R ratios were associated with lower microbiome diversity (P = .035), loss of anaerobic organisms (P = .020), and higher plasma LBP (P = .0014). No adverse gastrointestinal effects occurred because of LR. Intestinal permeability as measured through L:R ratios after allogeneic HSCT correlates with intestinal dysbiosis and elevated plasma LBP. The LR assay is well-tolerated and may identify transplant recipients who are more likely to experience adverse outcomes.

Abstract
In a rural area of Northeast Brazil, the relatively high serological infection by Leishmania in dogs, the lack of classical vector Lutzomyia longipalpis and of American Visceral Leishmaniasis cases in human beings and the observation of Leishmania in ticks collected in infected dogs suggest that ticks may be responsible for the transmission between dogs.
