Abstract

Background Cord blood transplant (CBT) recipients have a high incidence of herpes zoster (HZ) in the context of short-term peritransplant antiviral prophylaxis. In 2009, international guidelines recommended HZ prophylaxis for at least 1 year after hematopoietic cell transplant. The impact of longer-term antiviral prophylaxis on HZ incidence after CBT is unknown. Methods We retrospectively analyzed varicella zoster virus (VZV)–seropositive CBT recipients who were transplanted between 2006 and 2016. We abstracted HZ events and other variables for up to 5 years post-CBT. We calculated the cumulative incidence of HZ and used Cox proportional hazards regression to identify variables associated with HZ. Results The study cohort consisted of 227 patients. Among 1-year survivors, 91% were still receiving prophylaxis, for a median duration of 20.6 months. HZ occurred in 44 patients (19%) at a median of 23.6 months. The cumulative incidence of HZ by 1 year after CBT was 1.8% (95% confidence interval [CI],.1%–4%), but increased to 26% (95% CI, 19%–33%) by 5 years. In a multivariable analysis, acute graft-vs-host disease was associated with increased risk, whereas antiviral prophylaxis was associated with reduced risk for HZ (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.19 [95% CI,.09–.4]). There was no association between CD4+ T-cell counts at 1 year post-CBT and subsequent risk for HZ. Conclusions We found a high incidence of HZ after CBT despite antiviral prophylaxis for > 1 year. Based on these findings, we suggest longer duration of prophylaxis for HZ after CBT. Compliance with antiviral prophylaxis, VZV-specific immune monitoring, and vaccination to mitigate HZ after CBT also require further study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
