Description
Summary:Introduction: We report a case of an adult hematopoietic stem cell donor who developed active severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during the donation of stem cells, the final transplantation was successfully completed without SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Case report: We report on a 34-year-old female diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who underwent hemiploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Both patient and donor received three doses of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine before transplantation. PB-HSC was collected by the donor during the process of infection with SARS-CoV-2 (mild), and the patient did not show symptoms related to SARS-CoV-2 after transplantation. Nucleic acid and antigen were negative in regular tests. Conclusion: In the context of the current Omicron epidemic and high vaccination rate in the population, it is feasible to receive PB-HSC from infected donors even for immunocompromised patients. This also provides some references for our later donor selection.
