Effect of Prophylactic Administration of Foscarnet for HHV‐6 Encephalitis in Adult Single Cord Blood Transplantation
Foscarnet prophylaxis was not significantly associated with a reduced incidence of HHV-6 encephalitis after UCBT, whereas high-dose steroid exposure was a risk factor. Notably, a lower incidence of encephalitis with foscarnet prophylaxis was observed in the low-dose steroid subgroup, although this finding requires confirmation in larger cohorts.
