Paving the Way Toward a Better Understanding of Viral T Cell Interactions after Stem Cell Transplantation

In recent years, many viruses, such as ad-enovirus, BK virus, or human herpesvirus type 6, have taken their place in what seems to be a growing list of pathogens that can potentially affect patients after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT), and viruses have become a more frequent cause of morbidity and mortality after transplantation. As a con-sequence, virological monitoring with sen-sitive assays and the subsequent introduc-tion of preemptive therapy has become a routine strategy in the management of stem cell transplant recipients. Immune reconstitution remains a pivotal issue afte
