In this webinar, Drs. Raval, Khawaja, and Kleiboeker discuss advancements in virus-specific T-cell immunity, focusing on CMV and SARS-CoV-2. Dr. Raval shares insights on using CMV T Cell Immunity panels in heart transplant patients, Dr. Khawaja covers CMV cellular immunity in hematopoietic cell transplant recipients, and Dr. Kleiboeker introduces the SARS-CoV-2 inSIGHT T Cell Immunity test and future innovations in T cell immunity testing.
This bi-lateral lung transplant recipient is a 65 year-old male patient who received his lung transplant due to end-stage lung disease secondary to non-CF bronchiectasis. The donor and recipient CMV serostatus is D+/R+. The patient’s initial peri-operative course was complicated by difficult explant, primary graft dysfunction, respiratory failure requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation, renal insufficiency and recurrent infectious concerns, including pseudomonas and stenotrophomonas pneumonias.
