Episode Two is an exploration into the issues Cytomegalovirus cause in Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant patients. Kirsty Thomson is the Clinical Lead for UCLH Haematology and a Transplant Consultant. She guides us through the biology, screening, prophylaxis and treatment of CMV.
We also discuss the issues caused by respiratory viruses in transplant patients, including coronavirus. We recorded this podcast in December 2019, prior to COVID-19, so this is just referring to common coronavirus. Kirsty also takes some time to discuss the strengths of the Haematology Nursing service as well as how she balances her variety of roles
