Prevalence and characteristics of hepatitis E virus infection in kidney transplant recipients: a single ‐center experience in Japan
ConclusionHEV infection had no significant influence on the outcomes of kidney transplantation at our institution. However, HEV infection should be recognized in kidney transplant recipients similarly as hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus infection in cases of liver dysfunction.This article is protected by copyright.

High Frequency of Multiple HPV Types Detection in Fanconi Anemia Patients Oral Swabs
ConclusionsHPV prevalence in the oral mucosa of the assessed FA patients was higher than reported in the general population. Additional studies with collection of sequential samples are needed to know the natural history of the presence of multiple HPV types in these individuals and its association with the development of tumors, to evaluate the implementation of preventive measures, such as vaccination, and to guide early treatment.This article is protected by copyright.

NFKB1 promoter polymorphism: a new predictive marker of CMV infection after kidney transplantation
ConclusionsIn conclusion, pre ‐transplantation screening for NFKB1 ‐94ins/delATTG polymorphism may predict CMV infection and improve the management of patients at higher risk of infection in the post‐transplant period.This article is protected by copyright.

Human Herpesvirus 6 Encephalitis in Patients Administered Mycophenolate Mofetil as Prophylaxis for Graft ‐versus‐Host Disease after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
ConclusionsMMF may have the potential to increase the frequency of severe HHV ‐6 encephalitis in patients undergoing CBT and non‐CBT. Thus, MMF should be administered with caution, and patients should be monitored closely for HHV‐6 encephalitis even those who did not undergo CBT.This article is protected by copyright.

Role of regulatory T cells in CD47/donor ‐specific transfusion‐induced immune tolerance in skin‐heart transplantation mice
ConclusionOur results indicated that CD47 expression on DST cells plays an important role in the induction of immune tolerance in mice with skin ‐heart transplantation. Increased percentage of Treg cells may contribute to immune tolerance induced by CD47+/+ DST. (Source: Transplant Infectious Disease)

Comparison of universal prophylaxis and preemptive approach for cytomegalovirus associated outcome measures in renal transplant patients: A meta ‐analysis of available data
AbstractCytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitous latent human virus that often causes complications in renal transplantation recipients. Universal prophylaxis and preemptive therapy are alternative strategies to prevent CMV associated complications. This meta ‐analysis aimed to assess available data comparing the effectiveness of prophylaxis and preemptive therapy for preventing adverse outcomes. We searched the PubMed, Ovid, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Open Grey databases using a combination of keywords. Random effects models along with the Paule‐Mandel estimator were used to synthesize pooled effect estimates....
