    • Description:
      The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), and the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT) sponsored the Guidelines for Preventing Opportunistic Infections Among Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients. This document was drafted in 1997 by a working group of infectious disease and transplant experts,1 revised extensively from 1997 to 1999, and released for public comment on September 15, 1999, on the CDC website. The final document was published in CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on October 20, 2000, and in the Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation in late 2000. The term hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (HSCT) is preferable to “bone marrow transplant recipients” because the new term more accurately describes the current state of transplantation, which may involve harvesting donor cells from peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood, or bone marrow.

      Guidelines for Preventing Opportunistic Infections Among Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients contains a section on hospital infection control including evidence-based recommendations regarding ventilation, construction, equipment, plants, play areas and toys, health-care workers, visitors, patient skin and oral care, catheter-related infections, drug-resistant organisms, and specific nosocomial infections. These guidelines are intended to reduce the number and severity of hospital infections in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.
