DESCRIPTION OF INTERESTS

Opportunistic infections in the Immunocompromised Host Resistant bacteria in patients with malignancies Vascular Catheter Infections My primary research interest focuses on opportunistic infections in allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant recipients. In particular, my aim is to investigate viral infections in association with the immune status of recipients and to identify factors to classify high risk groups. I also study infections associated with the suppression of B and T-cells by novel agents used in the treatment of hematologic diseases such as monoclonal antibodies. In addition, we are looking at the epidemiology of VRE in patients with various malignancies in order to study the pathogenesis and modes of transmission as well as determine the virulence and rate of mortality of infections caused by resistant strains. An additional area of interst is studying the pathogenesis, early diagnosis and management of catheter related bacteremias.
