[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] breastfeeding during pre-conditioning chemotherapy

[Leiding, Jennifer]

Hi all:

This question came up among our group concerning a 13m old XL CGD boy that we are preparing for MUD HSCT. He will be receiving a preparative regimen consisting of busulfan/fludarabine/ATG. He has been breastfeeding since birth and in addition to nutrition, nursing is his main form of comfort. With the concern for CMV transmission via breast milk in SCID patients (especially those picked up via newborn screening), should there be a concern about CMV transmission via breast milk in this patient or any other transplant patient in which we are essentially making T cell deficient? This patient is CMV negative and we are in the process of checking his mother.

Thanks,

Jen Leiding
