Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis caused by paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is uncommon. Our case is a 44-year-old woman who presented with a 2 day history of headaches, nausea, and seizures followed by a Todd`s paresis; she had been diagnosed as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria for 4 years. A
Eculizumab has been developed as a breakthrough treatment for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Not only for breakthroughs, eculizumab therapy is also known to increase the risk of invasive meningococcal infection. It has also been recently reported that, although rarely, administration of
We encountered 4-year-old boy who developed paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) in the middle of August. He was admitted due to progressive jaundice and pallor following fever and nausea. Laboratory data revealed severe anemia, increased serum indirect bilirubin and LDH, and decreased serum
The triad of hemolytic anemia, pancytopenia, and thrombosis makes paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) a truly unique clinical syndrome. Intravascular hemolysis in PNH can lead to a severe hemolytic episode with massive hemoglobinuria which can cause acute kidney injury (AKI) probably from
BACKGROUND
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal stem cell disorder of hematopoietic cells. Gastrointestinal complications of PNH are rare and mostly related with intravascular thrombosis or intramural hematoma.
METHODS
We describe a case of a man with PNH complicated by intramural
BACKGROUND
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is an acquired disorder of hemopoiesis and is characterized by recurrent episodes of intravascular hemolysis due to an increased sensitivity to complement-mediated hemolysis. Systemic lupus erythematosus with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is very
Centipede bites are usually characterized by mildly to moderately painful encounters with humans, however, they are relatively infrequent. The vast majority of centipede envenomations do not cause severe symptoms and only in very rare cases more serious symptoms such as myocardial ischemia and
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety of cryopreserved and thawed peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) fractionated return infusions in children. 35 children patients with malignant tumors (13 acute leukaemias, 15 neuroblastomas and 7 malignant lymphomas) received fractionated return
BACKGROUND
The safety of the hemoglobin based oxygen carrier diaspirin crosslinked hemoglobin (DCLHb) has been reported only in the low (50-200 mg/kg) dose range [Przybelski. R.J.; Daily, E.K.; Kisicki, J.C.; Mattia-Goldberg, C.; Bounds, M.J.; Colburn, W.A. Phase I study of the safety and
2,3-Dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazole, a DNA synthesis inhibitor, was given to 25 patients in a phase I study. The drug was administered by rapid iv infusion daily x 5 days at 3-week intervals at doses ranging from 150 to 1500 mg/m2/day. Side effects were observed with doses of greater than or equal
OBJECTIVE
The pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, indications, clinical efficacy, adverse effects, drug interactions, and dosage and administration of eculizumab are reviewed.
CONCLUSIONS
Eculizumab, a recombinant, humanized, monoclonal, immunoglobulin G antibody produced from murine myeloma cells, is
BACKGROUND
Simvastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor, is indicated for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and plays an important role in both the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Danazol is a steroid analogue approved for the treatment of
On June 2, 2015, CDC was notified that a male airline passenger, aged 41 years, with a fever of 105.4°F, headache, nausea, photophobia, diarrhea, and vomiting, which began approximately 3 hours after departure, was arriving to San Francisco, California, on a flight from Frankfurt, Germany. His
BACKGROUND
We conducted a pilot study of the infusion of intravenous autologous cord blood (CB) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) to assess the safety and feasibility of the procedure as well as its potential efficacy in countering neurological impairment.
METHODS
Patients diagnosed with CP were
To evaluate the safety of cryopreserved and thawed peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) autografts in children with active cancer, a toxicity assessment was made of 54 PBSC transfusions to 52 children (aged 1-16 years; median, 9 years). Patients were conditioned with high-dose chemotherapy without
