Acute acalculous cholecystitis complicating chemotherapy for acute myeloblastic leukemia
Acute acalculous cholecystitis is a rare complication in the treatment of acute myeloblastic leukemia. Diagnosis of acute acalculous cholecystitis remains difficult during neutropenic period. We present two acute myeloblastic leukemia patients that developed acute acalculous cholecystitis during chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. They suffered from fever, vomiting and acute pain in the epigastri...
متن کاملAcute Myeloblastic Leukemia in Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired hematopoietic stem cell disorder in which the blood cells demonstrate aberrant interactions with serum complement. In part, this is due to the absence of the complement regulatory protein, decay accelerating factor (DAF). A small number of patients with PNH have gone on to develop acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, which is thought to arise f...
متن کاملDouble minute chromosomes in acute myeloblastic leukemia.
Two patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) with double minute chromosomes (dmins) are described. One patient had dmins in approximately one-third of bone marrow cells examined at diagnosis; no other karyotypic changes were observed. The dmins disappeared when the patient achieved a complete remission. The second patient developed acute leukemia as a second cancer, having previously rec...
متن کاملPrognosis of acute myeloblastic leukemia: chromosomal correlation.
A correlation was made between chromosomal findings in the marrow of AML patients obtained during the course of the disease, some of the clinical and cytologic features, and the survival span of these patients. The median survival time for each patient was obtained by the use of log-probability paper. Of the 69 patients with AML studied, 29 showed abnormal metaphases in the marrow at least once...
متن کاملAcute leukemia in idiopathic sideroblastic anemia: response to combination chemotherapy.
Three patients with idiopathic sideroblastic anemia of variable duration developed acute leukemia. In two the leukemia was morphologically and histochemically myeloblastic, in one lymphoblastic. With combination chemotherapy remission was achieved in all three. The remission inductions were complicated by long periods of bone marrow suppression and the duration of remissions was brief (3, 2 and...
