BACKGROUND
Visceral leishmaniasis is a zoonosis characterized by chronic evolution of symptoms; it usually appears 2 to 4 months after the initial infection, with multiple cutaneous lesions and systemic involvement, which if left untreated results in death in 90 % of cases.
METHODS
We present a case
Neutropenia is a common side-effect in hyperthyroid patients with long-term use of antithyroid drugs. This may be caused by drug-induced immune dysfunction or increased thyroxine hematologic toxicity, which usually returns to normal after medication is discontinued or the hyperthyroidism becomes
Imatinib (STI571, Gleevec/Glivec) and other small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors are highly effective in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), gastrointestinal stromal tumors and, for example, eosinophilia-associated chronic myeloproliferative disorders. This molecularly targeted
Eight patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph(+)) leukaemia relapsing from stem cell transplantation (SCT) (one syngeneic and seven allogeneic) were treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571. Five patients relapsing as chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) in chronic phase achieved a
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the expression of CD22 and its downstream signal molecule spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) and their phosphorylation of B lymphocytes in patients with immune related pancytopenia(IRP), and to explore the role of CD22 in pathogenesis of IRP.
METHODS
The expression of CD22, SYK
Imatinib-resistant tyrosine kinase (TK) fusions involving FGFR1, JAK2, or FLT3 are rare but recurrent in patients with eosinophilia-associated neoplasms. We report here 2 male patients with ETV6-FLT3(+) myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia who were treated with the multitargeted TK
ERBB2 mutations are found in about 2% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A recent study reported that pyrotinib (an irreversible pan ErbB inhibitor) had superior antitumor effect compared to other tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapies in patients with ERBB2 mutations. Bone marrow
BACKGROUND
Quizartinib, an inhibitor of class III receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), is currently in phase 3 development for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) bearing internal tandem duplications in the FLT3 gene. Aberrant RTK signaling is implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of
A 58-year-old man was diagnosed with accelerated phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). He was treated with dasatinib and followed-up; 6 months later, he achieved a complete molecular response. Seventeen months after this therapy, he developed pancytopenia, and was examined. His diagnosis was
Experiences with new multikinase inhibitors are limited, especially in children. In this report we summarize our experience with 2 patients with relapsed acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), one with FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3-internal tandem duplication mutation and the other with a single base
Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia is classified as a very high-risk group and it requires an intensive chemotherapy regimen associated with tyrosine-kinase inhibitors and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant from related or unrelated HLA matched donor. Most
Gaucher's disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease resulting in an abnormal accumulation of glucocerebrosides in macrophages. Recent studies have reported that patients with GD are at an increased risk of developing malignancies. Here, a rare case of a patient with Type I GD
The efficacy and toxicity of carboplatin plus mitoxantrone in blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CMLBC) were evaluated. Between 1990 and 1996, 20 patients (11 males and nine females, median age of 49 years [range 30-75 years]) were treated with carboplatin, 250 mg/m(2)/day x 5 days as an
Imatinib (Gleevec; STI-571) is a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) used in the treatment of multiple cancers, most notably Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) as well as gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). The most common adverse effects with imatinib include
Co-occurrence of cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities is frequently seen in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The clinical outcome and genetic abnormalities of AML may vary; therefore, genetic investigation must be complex, using several techniques, to have an appropriate
