We performed a prospective study at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital (Barcelona, Spain). Migrant patients over 16 years with the diagnosis of any oncohematologic disease were included. Patients were tested for soil-transmitted helminths, hepatitis virus, and human immunodeficiency virus, <jats:italic>Treponema pallidum<\/jats:italic>, human T-cell lymphotropic virus, latent tuberculosis infection, <jats:italic>Toxoplasma<\/jats:italic> spp., <jats:italic>Plasmodium<\/jats:italic> infection, <jats:italic>Schistosoma<\/jats:italic> spp., <jats:italic>Trypanosoma cruzi<\/jats:italic> infection, <jats:italic>Leishmania<\/jats:italic> spp., and dimorphic fungi. Patients were treated and followed for 1 year to assess reactivation. A total of 42 patients were included in this study. Median age was 39 (31\u201351) years. Twenty-five (59.5%) patients were women. More than half of the patients were of Latin American origin. Sixteen patients (38.1%) underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Of the patients, 71.4% had at least one imported infection. Patients with at least one positive result in the screening did not show any statistically significant association with the studied variables. We did not find any reactivation of the treated latent infections. After specific treatment we did not observe any reactivation. Screening of latent imported infections previous to an immunosuppressive treatment is easy to perform and it may be lifesaving.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.16-0458","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,18]],"date-time":"2016-10-18T20:13:13Z","timestamp":1476821593000},"page":"1463-1468","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Imported Disease Screening Prior to Chemotherapy and Bone Marrow Transplantation for Oncohematological Malignancies"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"95","author":[{"given":"Adri\u00e1n","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Montalv\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Disease Department, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, PROSICS Barcelona, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Salvador","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Disease Department, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, PROSICS Barcelona, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isabel","family":"Ruiz-Camps","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Disease Department, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, PROSICS Barcelona, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pere","family":"Barba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematological Department, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Valc\u00e1rcel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematological Department, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Sulleiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Microbiology Department, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, PROSICS Barcelona, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Enrique","family":"Sanz-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Oncology Department, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Israel","family":"Molina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Disease Department, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, PROSICS Barcelona, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"424","article-title":"Nodular lung schistosomiais lesions after chemotherapy for dysgerminoma","volume":"81","author":"de G\u00f3rgolas","year":"2009"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Acta Oncol","first-page":"78","article-title":"Opportunistic Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection in lymphoma patients undergoing chemotherapy and\/or radiotherapy\u2014report of a case and review of the literature","volume":"33","author":"Aydin","year":"1994"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Transpl Infect Dis Off J Transplant Soc","first-page":"143","article-title":"Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation","volume":"11","author":"Wirk","year":"2009"},{"year":"2015","series-title":"Migration and Migrant Population Statistics: Statistics Explained","author":"Eurostat","key":"ref4"},{"series-title":"Secci\u00f3n Prensa\/Cifras Oficiales de Poblaci\u00f3n.
