The clinical course of 126 hospitalized patients during 192 episodes of granulocytopenia and fever was studied. Fever was a regular accompaniment of granulocytopenia, occurring in 94 per cent of granulocytopenic episodes. The mean duration of granulocytopenia (less than 1,000/mm3) was 18 days, with
Granulocytopenia, a hematological hallmark of classical swine fever, is partially responsible for the suppression of innate immune defenses during classical swine fever. The present report demonstrates that this depletion was apparent as early as 3 days postinfection (p.i.). Both mature peripheral
The relationship of fever, granulocytopenia, and antimicrobial therapy to bacteremia was studied retrospectively in 53 cancer patients. Severe granulocytopenia was present at the time blood cultures were positive in 27 to 31 episodes of bacteremia. Twenty-five episodes of bacteremia documented
In recent years, advances in chemotherapy for malignant disease have resulted in a greater population of patients with granulocytopenia whose course in often complicated by fever. We reviewed the current medical literature in an attempt to identify the most appropriate management of this special
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,
The efficacy of two antibiotic regimens used as initial empiric therapy was evaluated in 299 episodes of fever and granulocytopenia in children with cancer. Of these, 148 were treated with the combination cefoxitin-amikacin-carbenicillin and the remaining 151 with ceftriaxone-amikacin. All of the
OBJECTIVE
1. To identify the quality degree of medical care in patients with acute leukaemia who had fever and granulocytopenia during the hospitalization period. 2. To establish the relationship between the medical care process and the results in this concern.
METHODS
Retrospective
OBJECTIVE
Infection is one of the most serious complications of cancer therapy. The rationale of using broad spectrum antibiotics prophylactically has led to a great change in the causative organisms. The aim of the present study is to review retrospectively the type and sequence of infectious
Piperacillin/tazobactam (P/T) was used in the treatment of 14 patients at the age of 5 to 15 years: 5 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 3 with acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia, 4 with severe aplastic anemia, 1 with lymphoma and 1 with neuroblastoma. P/T was administered as intravenous
We reviewed the hospital admissions of 168 patients with acute leukemia to determine the incidence of persistent fever following recovery from chemotherapy-induced granulocytopenia. This phenomenon was observed during 26 (15.5%) hospital admissions. The microbiologically and/or clinically documented
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
In a prospective randomized study, 100 episodes of fever (greater than 38 degrees C) and granulocytopenia (less than 1000/microliters) in cancer patients were empirically treated with ceftazidime (2 g every 8 h) plus teicoplanin (400 mg every 8 h on day 1; 400 mg every day thereafter) or ceftazidime
Clozapine-induced agranulocytosis, malignant hyperthermia (MH), statin-induced myopathy, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) are all serious drug reactions with significant overlap in terms of clinical symptomatology. The use of clozapine can lead to neutropenia, as well as the development of
Dipyrone or metamizole Na (Novalgin) is commonly used as an antipyretic, analgesic, and spasmolytic agent in some parts of the world; however, it is banned in developed countries because of severe side effects. Here we present a case of a 4-year-old boy who developed life-threatening
BACKGROUND
Intravenously administered antimicrobial agents have been the standard choice for the empirical management of fever in patients with cancer and granulocytopenia. If orally administered empirical therapy is as effective as intravenous therapy, it would offer advantages such as improved
