ABSTRACT
Infections are still one of the most common causes of death after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Antimicrobial prophylaxis plays a crucial role in decreasing non-relapse mortality after HCT. The objective of this guideline paper was the presentation of current recommendations of antimicrobial prophylaxis for children and adults after hematopoietic cell transplantation, prepared in cooperation with Polish scientific hematological societies. Recommendations were prepared by the working group and finally approved by all 23 Polish transplant centers for children and adults. Existing (European Conference on Infections in Leukemia (ECIL) and European Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) guidelines, as well as the results of a survey performed among all Polish transplant centers, were the background material for the working group. Recommendations are presented in sections dedicated to antibacterial prophylaxis, antifungal prophylaxis, antiviral prophylaxis, as well as prophylaxis of toxoplasmosis and infections with Pneumocystis jiroveci. Recommendations on the principles of vaccination against COVID-19 are provided based on the state of knowledge in September 2021. A section on guidelines of environmental prophylaxis is also presented.
