Outcomes and mutational analysis of patients with lower-risk non-del5q myelodysplastic syndrome treated with antithymocyte globulin with or without ciclosporine A

International audienceImmunosuppressive treatment is a disease-modifying therapy for lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). However, IST is relatively rarely used and long-term outcomes of patients are seldom reported. We retrospectively studied outcomes of 20 patients with lower-risk non del 5q MDS with transfusion dependency, with horse or rabbit antithymocyte globulin ± ciclosporine A, and frontline eltrombopag in two of them. IPSS-R was low, intermediate and high in 30%, 55% and 10% of the patients, respectively. Fifty-five percent of the patients had hypocellular bone marrow (BM). Baseline mutations were detected in 31.5% of the patients and were more frequent in patients with normo/hypercellular MDS than in patients with hypocellular MDS. Transfusion independence rate for both red blood cells (RBC) and platelets was achieved in 45% of patients. RBC transfusion duration ≤6 months, B-cell counts >0.2 G/L and, marginally, BM blasts ≤2% were associated with higher transfusion independence rate. Age and cellularity did not influence the response rate. Median transfusion independence duration was 53 months. Cumulative incidence of progression to a more aggressive myeloid disease was 0 in patients without baseline mutations and 33% in patients with baseline mutations (P = .008). Median progression-free and overall survival after treatment onset and median overall survival after loss of transfusion independence were 45.5 months, 68 months and not reached, respectively. In conclusion, antithymocyte globulin ± ciclosporine A results in durable responses in MDS, irrespective of age, in patients with lower-risk disease without B-cell lymphopenia and treated early in the course of the disease

The complex karyotype in hematological malignancies: a comprehensive overview by the Francophone Group of Hematological Cytogenetics (GFCH)

International audienceIn the context of increasing antimicrobial resistance in Enterobacterales, the management of these UTIs has become challenging. We retrospectively assess the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in Enterobacterales isolates recovered from urinary tract samples in France, between 1 September 2017, to 31 August 2018. Twenty-six French clinical laboratories provided the susceptibility of 134,162 Enterobacterales isolates to 17 antimicrobials. The most frequent species were E. coli (72.0%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (9.7%), Proteus mirabilis (5.8%), and Enterobacter cloacae complex (2.9%). The overall rate of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales was 6.7%, and ranged from 1.0% in P. mirabilis to 19.5% in K. pneumoniae, and from 3.1% in outpatients to 13.6% in long-term care facilities. Overall, 4.1%, 9.3% and 10.5% of the isolates were resistant to cefoxitin, temocillin and pivmecillinam. Cotrimoxazole was the less active compound with 23.4% resistance. Conversely, 4.4%, 12.9%, and 14.3% of the strains were resistant to fosfomycin, nitrofurantoin, and ciprofloxacin. However, less than 1% of E. coli was resistant to fosfomycin and nitrofurantoin. We identified several trends in antibiotics resistances among Enterobacterales isolates recovered from the urinary tract samples in France. Carbapenem-sparing drugs, such as temocillin, mecillinam, fosfomycin, cefoxitin, and nitrofurantoin, remained highly active, including towards ESBL-E
