Abstract

We present two allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation recipients (HCTr) treated with pritelivir for acyclovir-resistant/refractory (r/r) HSV infection based on the expanded access program of the pritelivir manufacturer. Outpatient treatment with pritelivir was administered, with partial response by week 1 of treatment and complete response by week 4 of treatment in both patients. No adverse events were noted. Pritelivir appears to be an effective and safe option for the management of acyclovir-r/r HSV infections in highly immunocompromised patients in an outpatient setting.
