Feasibility of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Following Recent Invasive Mold Disease in Pediatric Patients
(n = 4). Infections most frequently involved the lungs followed by paranasal sinuses, bloodstream, liver, and skin. All patients demonstrated clinical improvement before transplantation, and by day +100 post-HSCT, no IMD relapses or infection-related mortality were observed. These findings suggest that complete radiologic or clinical resolution is not a prerequisite for proceeding with transplantation. Recent IMD should not be considered an absolute contraindication to urgent allo-HSCT when clinical improvement is evident, as transplantation facilitates immune reconstitution necessary for definitive infection control.
