Indolent zygomycosis associated with deferoxamine chelation therapy.
This paper describes a 71-year-old man with myelodysplasia who required multiple transfusions and subsequent deferoxamine chelation therapy and who then developed indolent cutaneous and probable pulmonary infection with Rhizopus species. The patient did not have rapidly progressive infection as has been described in almost all previously reported deferoxamine-treated patients with zygomycosis. ...
متن کاملCombined chelation therapy with deferasirox and deferoxamine in thalassemia.
Iron overload is the primary cause of mortality and morbidity in thalassemia major despite advances in chelation therapy. We performed a pilot clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined therapy with deferasirox (DFX, 20-30 mg/kg daily) and deferoxamine (DFO, 35-50mg/kg on 3-7 days/week) in 22 patients with persistent iron overload or organ damage. In the 18 subjects completi...
متن کاملIron chelation adherence to deferoxamine and deferasirox in thalassemia.
The Thalassemia Clinical Research Network collected adherence information from 79 patients on deferoxamine and 186 on deferasirox from 2007 to 2009. Chelation adherence was defined as percent of doses administered in the last 4 weeks (patient report) out of those prescribed(chart review). Chelation history since 2002 was available for 97 patients currently on deferoxamine and 217 on deferasirox...
متن کاملTransfusion Iron Chelation Therapy
As a unique electron donor and acceptor, iron is an essential element in most biological systems. However, its chemical reactivity can result in iron potentially becoming a toxin when present in excessive quantities; accordingly, total body iron must be tightly regulated. As humans have no physiological mechanism for the elimination of excess iron, body iron is controlled mainly by the degree o...
متن کاملIntensive iron-chelation therapy with desferrioxamine in iron-loading anaemias.
1. Urinary iron excretion after desferrioxamine has been examined in nine patinets with different iron-loading anaemias. Particular attention has been paid to individual variation in response and the kinetics of iron removal in order to determine the most efficient and convenient method of administration. 2. Twelve-hour subcutaneous infusions of desferrioxamine were comparable with intravenous ...
