Viral Infection Following Bone Marrow Transplantation

  • Conference paper
Recent Advances and Future Directions in Bone Marrow Transplantation

Part of the book series: Experimental Hematology Today—1987 ((HEMATOLOGY,volume 1987))

Abstract

Virus infections, along with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), are a major impediment to the success of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The list of viruses often infecting these patients is long. The herpesviruses infect patients following transplant in a manner temporally related to the time of transplant (1) and form the basis of this report.
