WHO WE STUDY
• Patients with leukemia and lymphoma
• Being treated with cellular therapies– Hematopoietic Cell (Bone marrow) Transplant
– CAR-T cell therapies*
• Patients with neurodegenerative and cardiometabolic disorders

Mystery Case #1
39F with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia underwent a “bone marrow” transplantation.
• 37days after transplantation, she developed fevers and chills.
• A blood culture grew Staphylococcus epidermidis.
Where did this infection come from?

CLABSI (Central line associate blood stream infection) COSTLY, PENALIZED
“Recovery of a pathogen from a blood culture in a patient who had central line at the time of infection or within 48 hours before development of infection…” (CDC)

Mystery Case #1, cont.
• At significant cost, the central venous catheter is removed and then replaced 2 days later.
• The patient’s hospital stay is extended by 2 days.
• She eventually clears her infection with IV antibiotics.
