Conditioning therapy with aggressive chemotherapy and irradiation induces a state of transient combined immunodeficiency in bone-marrow transplant recipients. This promotes the occurrence of severe cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, the most frequent lethal complication after bone-marrow transplantation (BMT) at present. Forty-four BMT recipients received CMV-IgG-hyperimmunoglobulin for CMV prophylaxis intravenously. The efficacy of this prophylaxis and possible risk factors for the occurrence of CMV-induced interstitial pneumonia (IP) were analyzed. Risk factors for the promotion of a CMV-IP were: additional immunosuppressive therapy after BMT, CMV-positive serostatus of the recipient, CMV-seropositive granulocyte transfusion, CMV infection immediately prior to BMT, and HLA-haploidentical BMT. In this study the incidence of graft-versus-host disease was low and was not associated with the incidence of CMV infections. The use of T-cell-depleted grafts did not result in increased CMV infections or IP and may possibly have improved the immunological reconstitution.
