Abstract
The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV 2), has impacted many facets of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in both developed and developing countries. The full impact of the COVID 19 pandemic, caused by the SARS CoV 2, on the field of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is unknown. Here, we report a rare case of a 21-year-old male patient known to have chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with progression to T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma as extramedullary blast crisis of CML. The patient was treated by pediatric chemotherapy regimen then. He underwent haploidentical stem cell transplantation. Posttransplantation, on day +7, he developed SARS-CoV-2 after receiving stem cell graft from a donor who was diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 on the day of stem cells harvesting. The case elaborates complications and outcome of a patient receiving stem cell transplant from a donor with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
