Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: a rare complication of autologous stem cell transplantation.
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a very severe and rare syndrome of pathologic immune activation characterized by cytopenia and clinical signs and symptoms of extreme inflammation. HLH is usually fatal without treatment so that accurate and timely diagnosis is very important. The syndrome occurs as a familial disorder (familial HLH - FLH) or as an acquired condition (secondary - sHLH...

Klebsiella on one occasion. Staphylococcus aureus was grown from central line tip on two occasions. He was started on meropenem and teicoplanin for 3 weeks, when he developed maxillary sinusitis, for which he was started on amphotericin B. He continued to have intermittent fever. He was also given granulocyte infusions for one week. Blood culture was sterile after 3 weeks when a Hickman cathete...
متن کاملAdvances in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization and Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation
Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. Interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/CXCR4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...

BMT, including 1) rapid hematopoietic engraftment, 2) less requirement for blood transfusion, antibiotic therapy and hospitalization days, and 3) avoidance of.risks and discomfort associated with general anesthesia for collecting hematopoietic stem cells (2). Taking these advantages into consideration, the use of PBSCwas applied for syngeneic and allogeneic transplantation in the early 1990' s....
متن کاملPeripheral Blood Stem Cells: A Novel Source for Allogeneic Transplantation.
Cytokine-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are increasingly viewed as a promising alternative to bone marrow (BM)-derived stem cells for allografting in patients with hematologic malignancies. Preliminary results seem to indicate several potential advantages of this approach, such as: A) a more "donor-friendly" and possibly safer stem cell collection procedure; B) the procurement of...
