Successful management of living donor liver transplantation for biliary atresia with single ventricle physiology —from peri‐transplant through total cavopulmonary connection: A case report
We describe the details of the management of LTx in the presence of cardiac anomalies and report the long‐term cardiac and liver function, from peri‐LDLTx through EC‐TCPC completion. (Source: Pediatric Transplantation)

Multimodal treatment including tandem high ‐dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation in children with anaplastic ependymomas
In this study, we evaluated the results of multimodal treatment that included tandem HDCT/auto‐SCT in children with anaplastic ependymomas. Fourteen patients with anaplastic ependymomas were enrolled from 2006 to 2014. Six cycles of induction chemotherapy were administered to all patients before they underwent tandem HDCT/auto‐SCT. Patients who were older than 3 years of age were administered RT after two cycles of induction chemotherapy. In patients under 3 years of age, RT was either omitted or delayed until they reached 3 years of age, if the patients experienced CR after tandem HDCT/auto‐SCT. All patients, inc...

Invasive pneumococcal infections in pediatric liver ‐small bowel‐pancreas transplant recipients
In conclusion, despite partial or complete pneumococcal immunization and reported antimicrobial prophylaxis, IPI in LSBPTx children can have a fatal outcome. Routine monitoring of pneumococcal serotype antibodies to determine the timing for revaccination might be warranted to ensure protective immunity in these transplant recipients.

Comparison of tuberculin skin test and interferon gamma release assay for diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection in pediatric candidates of renal transplantation
In conclusion, compared to QFT, TST is still a valuable diagnostic tool with high accuracy rate for diagnosis of LTBI in children candidates for renal transplantation and can still be used as an accurate test for screening Mycobacterium TB infection. (Source: Pediatric Transplantation)

Cytotoxic T ‐lymphocyte therapy for post‐transplant lymphoproliferative disorder after solid organ transplantation in children
Abstract
EBV‐CTL immunotherapy targets EBV antigens expressed by tumor cells in PTLD. Data on outcome of EBV‐CTL in pSOT patients are limited. The aim of the study is to describe our experience with allogeneic, third‐party EBV‐CTL for the treatment of PTLD in pSOT patients in a single tertiary center. Retrospective review was performed of all pSOT patients who received EBV‐CTL for PTLD. PTLD was diagnosed using World Health Organization histologic criteria. EBV‐CTLs were derived from human leukocyte antigen‐typed, EBV‐seropositive third‐party donors, and cryopreserved and maintained by an accredited natio...

The effect of peri ‐transplant plasmapheresis in the prevention of recurrent FSGS
Abstract
Many pediatric centers utilize a variety of protocols including preemptive plasmapheresis to prevent the recurrence of FSGS post‐transplant. But the effectiveness of this expensive, time‐consuming process of plasmapheresis in the prevention of FSGS recurrence is still unclear. We retrospectively reviewed all pediatric cases of FSGS in our center that received a kidney transplant and compared the transplant and patient outcomes of those transplanted after 2006 who received pretransplant plasmapheresis to those prior to 2006 who did not. Of the 57 children with FSGS, 31 and 26 were transplanted before and after ...

Disseminated fungal infection by Aureobasidium pullulans in a renal transplant recipient
We report a case of disseminated fungal infection due to A. pullulans in a pediatric patient who underwent renal transplant. The use of voriconazole and vacuum‐assisted closure along with surgical drainage most likely contributed to the patient's positive outcome. (Source: Pediatric Transplantation)
