Cutaneous alternariosis due to Alternaria chlamydospora after bone marrow transplantation.
In June 1994, a 33-year-old man was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukaemia. In November 1995, he underwent an allogeneic BMT from an unrelated donor. Three months later, a slightly itchy erythematous papule appeared on his left leg. During the following days, 2 similar lesions developed on his left thigh and right arm (Fig. 1). The lesions increased a little in size and the centre of the ...
متن کاملMucormycosis Associated With Deferoxamine Therapy After allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation.
Mucormycosis is an uncommon acute and often fatal opportunistic fungal infection that is classically seen with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus with acidosis, acute leukemia, or other immunosuppressive conditions. A relatively new association of mucormycosis occurring in patients with iron and aluminum excess who receive deferoxamine therapy has been reported with increasing frequency. While...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus infection after autologous bone marrow transplantation with comparison to infection after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection was detected in 65 of 143 (45%) autologous bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients. CMV pneumonitis occurred in only 2% of the patients and CMV retinitis occurred in none. Infection occurred in half of the 40 initially seronegative patients and 47% of the 94 initially seropositive patients. Among initially seropositive patients, platelet recovery was slower in infe...
متن کاملSino-oral zygomycosis due to Absidia corymbifera in a patient with acute leukemia.
Fungi belonging to class Zygomycetes become pathogenic in certain predisposing conditions; principally diabetes mellitus, immunosuppression, trauma or burns. We report a case of a 31-year-old man with acute promyelocytic leukemia who developed infection of the sino-oral cavity, due to Absidia corymbifera during a neutropenic phase following induction chemotherapy. A provisional diagnosis of zyg...
