Pathogen Indication Drug
PJP (Pneumocystis jirovecii) Steroid ≥20 mg ≥4 wk; purine analogues (fludarabine); idelalisib; alemtuzumab; CAR-T; post-HCT × ≥6-12 mo; lymphoma; non-myeloid malignancy with ALC <500 TMP/SMX 1 SS daily or DS 3×/wk; alternatives: dapsone (G6PD!), atovaquone, pentamidine
HSV/VZV HCT (auto + allo); fludarabine, alemtuzumab, bortezomib, BTKi Acyclovir or valacyclovir
CMV Allo-HCT seropositive; CAR-T high-risk Letermovir (CMV-specific terminase) — ASTCT guidelines
Aspergillus / Candida (mold + yeast) Acute leukemia (esp. AML induction), post-HCT, prolonged neutropenia >7-14 d, steroid-treated GVHD Posaconazole > voriconazole > fluconazole (yeast only); echinocandins for refractory
Encapsulated bacteria (S. pneumo, H. flu, Meningococcus) Post-splenectomy / asplenia; eculizumab/ravulizumab; SCD <5 yo Penicillin V + vaccinations
HBV reactivation Rituximab / anti-CD20 / ICI / chemo with HBsAg+ or core+ donor Entecavir or tenofovir
HCV Pre-chemo screening; treat with DAAs
TB latent Bortezomib, alemtuzumab, anti-TNF; post-HCT INH + B6
Influenza All immunocompromised Annual flu vaccine + oseltamivir for outbreak ppx
COVID-19 Risk-based vaccinations + monoclonals (changing) mRNA vaccine boosters; nirmatrelvir-ritonavir for active
Strongyloides Endemic regions + steroid use Empirical ivermectin + serology screening

治療

Vaccinations

  • Pre-splenectomy / pre-HCT (2-4 wk before): PCV20 + PPSV23 + MenACWY + MenB + Hib + influenza.
  • Post-HCT vaccination resumption: 6 mo for inactivated (PCV, influenza, dTaP, HPV, Hib); 12 mo for some live not allowed; 24 mo + no immunosuppression × 3 mo for live (MMR, VZV, RZV recombinant).
  • Recombinant zoster (Shingrix) — preferred over live VZV vaccine for HCT, severe immunosuppression.
  • Annual influenza for all heme-onc pts.
  • Eculizumab/ravulizumab users: meningococcal ACWY + B + antibiotic prophylaxis until vaccine response.

陷阱與考點

Pearls / Pitfalls

  • TMP/SMX dose-adjust for renal failure; alternative if sulfa allergy: dapsone (G6PD screen!) or atovaquone or pentamidine.
  • Letermovir (CMV ppx) is now standard for CMV-seropositive allo-HCT recipients (Marty NEJM 2017) — replaced preemptive ganciclovir-based monitoring in many centers.
  • Posaconazole > voriconazole > fluconazole for mold prophylaxis. Posaconazole tablets > suspension (better absorption). Levels for therapeutic monitoring.
  • Voriconazole AEs: hepatotoxicity, visual disturbances (photophobia, color changes), QT prolongation, periostitis, fluorosis, skin cancer (squamous cell long-term).
  • Echinocandins (caspofungin, micafungin, anidulafungin): yeast + Candida; less mold (no Aspergillus efficacy in some species).
  • Antifungal in steroid-treated GVHD: posaconazole until steroid weaned and ANC >1000.
  • Rituximab + HBsAg/core+ → fulminant hepatitis — entecavir / tenofovir prophylaxis ≥12 mo after rituximab.
  • Live vaccines contraindicated during active immunosuppression: MMR, VZV (use recombinant zoster Shingrix), oral polio, oral typhoid, BCG, yellow fever.
  • CAR-T post-infusion: PJP ppx + acyclovir/valacyclovir + IVIG if hypogammaglobulinemia.
  • Eculizumab/ravulizumab = meningococcal vaccine + antibiotic prophylaxis (penicillin or ciprofloxacin) until vaccine response established.
  • Latent TB screening before alemtuzumab, anti-TNF, prolonged steroids — IGRA preferred.
  • Strongyloides screening for endemic-region pts before steroid initiation — fatal hyperinfection if missed.
