RESUMEN
Quantification of Torque teno virus (TTV) load emerged as a marker of immunosuppression. Associations of TTV load with complications and survival after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) were controversial in published studies. In this prospective study, we aimed to identify factors influencing TTV load after allo-HCT and to determine whether the TTV load is associated with complications or outcomes. Seventy allo-HCT recipients were included. TTV DNA load was quantified in 469 plasma samples of 70 patients from Day (D) 15 before D120 after transplantation. The influence of transplant characteristics on TTV load and the associations of TTV load with viral infections, acute graft versus host disease, mortality, and relapse were analyzed. More than 80% of patients were TTV DNA positive from D30 after transplantation onwards. Median TTV load increased between D30 and D60 post-transplantation. Patients with lymphoid malignancies had higher TTV load than those with myeloid malignancies. Myeloablative conditioning was associated with higher TTV loads. Patients with no measurable residual disease at transplant had higher TTV loads. High TTV load at D90 post-transplantation was associated with lower overall survival and at D120 post-transplantation was associated with higher relapse rate. In conclusion, TTV load at time points later than D90 after allo-HCT may be useful to assess prognosis.

The metabolism of urapidil to 2-MeOPP induces the risk of detection of 2-MeOPP in biological samples (blood, urine and hair) in case of urapidil treatment. This is supported by two case reports and an in vitro study of urapidil metabolism.
