Brief Summary: This study will collect data on the incidence rate of occurrence of fungal infections in recipients of bone marrow stem cell or organ transplants The data will provide information needed to develop strategies for prevention and early treatment of fungal infections in these patients

Any patient receiving bone marrow transplantation peripheral stem cell transplantation or solid organ transplantation is eligible for this study

The survey will be conducted over a 3-year period at about 20 collaborating transplant centers Through the annual accrual of more than 9000 patients it is estimated that at least 5 to 8 percent per year will have documented or suspected invasive fungal infections

The study will be conducted in three phases as follows

Phase 1 A 6-month start-up phase during which sites will initiate screening and begin collecting data on incident cases of invasive fungal infections
Phase 2 A 2-year phase in which all sites will conduct surveillance and collect data and specimens in a standardized fashion
Phase 3 A 6-month wrap-up phase during which active surveillance for invasive fungal infections will be conducted only among patients who were transplanted before the beginning of this phase

Patient care will be provided through the patient s primary protocol and standard of care

Detailed Description: Background

Invasive fungal infections have emerged as important causes of morbidity and mortality among recipients of bone marrow stem cell and solid organ transplantation SOT as well as patients receiving intensive chemotherapy for treatment of hematological malignancies patients with aplastic anemia and patients with inherited immunodeficiencies

This study has been formerly conducted through a surveillance network of BMTSCT and SOT centers through collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control for the surveillance of invasive fungal infections in recipients of bone marrow stem cell transplantation and solid organ transplantations

The first three phases of this study will have been conducted over a six-year period at approximately 23 collaborating transplant centers and completed enrollment of multi-center cases of March 31 2006

The addition of a fourth phase allows the study of cases of invasive fungal infections to continue by extending the protocol for four years at the NIH Clinical Center

It is estimated that at least 5-8 of immunocompromised patients will be accrued annually with documented or suspected invasive fungal infections

Objectives

The objective of this study is to conduct multi-institutional surveillance for invasive fungal infections in recipients of bone marrow stem cell transplantation and solid organ transplantations as well as in immunocompromised patients within the Clinical Center patient population

To maintain a multi-institute surveillance network to evaluate new approaches to the prevention and diagnosis of invasive fungal infections through the analysis of immune function to include antigen detection within the population of patients who develop invasive fungal infections

Eligibility

Any patient within the NIH Clinical Center receiving a bone marrow transplantation peripheral stem cell transplantation or solid organ transplantation or any patient with an inherited immunodeficiency aplastic anemia or oncologic diagnosis meeting EORTCMSG criteria for an invasive infection

Design

This is a prospective surveillance study of invasive fungal infections in the immunocompromised host population

An incident case will be defined as any transplant recipient or an immunocompromised patient ie having inherited immunodeficiencies aplastic anemia or general oncology with proven or probable invasive fungal infection meeting the criteria for IFI as described by the MSGEORTC guidelines

Positive microbiological evidence will prompt acquisition of discarded serum and blood from the Department of Laboratory Medicine for analysis of immune function to include antigen detection to evaluate new approaches to the prevention and diagnosis of invasive fungal infections
