General information

Hematopoietic stem cells are pluripotent progenitor cells with self-renewal capability. They can differentiate into any haematopoietic system cell (Ng and Alexander, 2017). Transplantation of HSCs is used for the treatment of several haematological, malignant and immune disorders (Duarte et al., 2019).

2 patients who received HSC transplantation due to their medical conditions (not related to COVID-19) were infected with SARS-CoV-2. Despite their immune deficiencies, the infection was mild. One of the patients died 52 days post transplantation with no signs of viral infection. Acute grade 4 graft versus host disease developed in this patient, however. Sample size: 2.
