It has been reported that 7-ethyl-10-[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidino]carbonyloxy-camptothecin (CPT-11) and its active metabolite, 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin (SN-38), have absorption characteristics of weakly basic drugs, suggesting that alkalization of the intestinal lumen might reduce
A granulocytosis in dengue hemorrhagic fever has not been mentioned, it mayprobably be included under the term of leucopenia. Here is the case of a 14-year Thai boy presenting with fever and diarrhea for 3 days. He was diagnosed as dengue hemorrhagic fever, grade I because he had hemoconcentration,
A 20-year-old man with end-stage renal disease was scheduled to have an ABO-incompatible living kidney transplantation donated by his mother. His complete blood count including differential white blood cell count was normal before preoperative immunosuppressive therapy including mycophenolate
Irinotecan and its active metabolite, SN-38, were reported to have the absorption characteristics of weakly basic drugs. Moreover, stasis of these compounds is thought to induce damage to the intestinal mucous membrane. The purpose of this report was to examine whether oral alkalization (OA)
A sixty-eight-year-old male with a past medical history of recurrent cocaine use presented to the emergency department with recurrent diarrhea and was found to have a white blood cell (WBC) count of 1.9 × 109/L with agranulocytosis (absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of 95 cell/mm3). At admission, the
BACKGROUND
Febuxostat, a nonpurine xanthine oxidase inhibitor, is approved as the first-line urate-lowering therapy in gout patients with normal renal function or mild to moderate renal impairment. The most common adverse effects of febuxostat are liver function test abnormalities, diarrhea, and
OBJECTIVE
There exists few pediatric data on the safety and efficacy of prophylactic antibiotics during chemotherapy-induced agranulocytosis.
METHODS
We prospectively studied the incidence of infection-related fever in 38 children, aged 2-16 years, with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) over 121
Chemotherapy-induced diarrhea (CID) became first apparent during clinical studies on the combination of 5-FU with leucovorin and, furthermore, with irinotecan in the treatment of metastatic colorectal carcinoma. Bowel dysfunctions, such as diarrhea and constipation, can be a disturbing side effect
Antithyroid drugs are widely used to treat hyperthyroidism, especially Graves' disease, but they tend to cause agranulocytosis, which increases the mortality rate. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor decreases the duration of recovery from agranulocytosis. We retrospectively studied cases of
A 52-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of intermittent high fever and chronic renal failure. Computed tomography of the thorax showed swelling of the paratracheal lymph nodes that was confirmed by gallium scintigraphy. Biopsy of the supraclavicular lymph node on the right side
Diarrhoea caused by Campylobacter infection in two adult patients was observed: one with erythroleukemia, and another with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. An infection developed in both cases during the period of agranulocytosis and decreased specific immunologic response to cytostatics. In case of the second
Infections caused by Fusarium species are increasing in frequency among immunocompromised hosts, but urinary tract infection (UTI) due to Fusarium proliferatum has not been reported in the literature so far. We describe a case of UTI caused by F. proliferatum in a 47-year-old man who was diagnosed
Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a rareE primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by early onset recurrent infections in association with persistent severe agranulocytosis. To identify the clinical, immunohematological, and molecular characteristics of patients with SCN, 18 Iranian
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the status of enterovirus (EV) infection in children with acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRTI).
METHODS
A total of 404 samples (with odd numbers) of nasopharyngeal aspirates were collected from the children who were hospitalized in the Children's Medical Center,
OBJECTIVE
To determine the toxicities and potential for dose escalation of intravenous (IV) bolus fluorouracil (5-FU) given with 500 mg/m2/d leucovorin (LCV) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).
METHODS
Thirty-seven patients received escalating doses of 5-FU/LCV on days 1
