Toxoplasmosis in hematopoietic cell transplant recipients

 2017 Jun 12. doi: 10.1111/tid.12734. [Epub ahead of print]

Abstract

We read with interest the recent article entitled "Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients and parasitic diseases: A review of the literature of clinical cases and perspectives to screen and follow-up active and latent chronic infections" by Fabiani et al.1 The authors attempted to summarize major parasitic infections in this patient population without using any language or time restriction. However, we have concerns about the details and accuracy of the study, especially with regards to toxoplasmosis. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
