relapse

17
Q

what is the cut off for acute vs chronic GVHD

A

100 days

18
Q

what organs does acute GVHD affect

A

skin, GIT, liver

19
Q

what organs does chronic GVHD affecr

A

skin, mucous membranes, lungs, liver, eyes, joints

20
Q

how is GVHD graded and what do they mean

A

1 to 4
1= not bad, 4 = fatal

21
Q

risk factors of GVHD

A

HLA disparity
recipient age
conditioning regime
R/D gender combination
stem cell source
disease phase - worse later
viral infections

22
Q

Tx of acute GVHD

A

corticosteroids
calcineurin inhibitors
mycophenylate mofetil
monoclonal ABs
photophoresis
total lymphoid irridation
mesenchymal stromal cells

23
Q

how is acute GVHD prevented

A

methotrexate
corticosteroids
calcineurin inhibitors
T cell depletion
cyclophosphadime

24
Q

what is chronic GVHD

A

end organ dysfunction with immune dysregulation

25
Q

when does chronic GVHD appear / go away

A

appears within 6 months
lasts 2-5 years

26
Q

risk factors of chronic GVHD

A

acute GVHD
general GVHD risk factors - eg age, disease, mismatching

27
Q

why is infection in the first few weeks post transplant the worst

A

low neutrophils

28
Q

when do you get HSV infection post transplant

A

immediately

30-100 days later

30
Q

when do you get EBV infection post transplant

A

1 year later

31
Q

why is fungal infection post transplant such bad news

A

poor treatment for it
low monocytes to fight off fungus

32
Q

how do gram + / - bacteria get into a person with a transplant

broad spec ABx IV immediately
