Regional anesthetic procedures in immunosuppressed patients: risk of infection.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Due to demographic developments anesthesiologists encounter an increasing number of older and multimorbid patients in their daily routine. Consequently the proportion of immunosuppressed patients (e.g. those with cancer, diabetes mellitus, and those receiving immunosuppressive treatment and/or chemotherapy - e.g. for inflammatory bowel diseases, autoimmune diseases, and after ...

Cytomegalovirus infection in immunosuppressed patients after kidney transplantation

The first kidney transplantation was performed in 1951 and ever since then living donor transplantation became a more and more important solution for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Renal transplantation is a life-saving procedure. Morbidity and mortality on waiting-lists are strongly correlated with the time of dialysis and end-stage renal disease is one of the most important cau...

A model for HCMV infection in immunosuppressed patients

We propose a model for HCMV infection in healthy and immunosuppressed patients. First, we present the biological model and formulate a system of ordinary differential equations to describe the pathogenesis of primary HCMV infection in immunocompetent and immunosuppressed individuals. We then investigate how clinical data can be applied to this model. Approximate parameter values for the model a...

Prevention and treatment of Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection in immunosuppressed rabbits with fenbendazole

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of oral administration of fenbendazole (20 mg/kg body weight) prior to and after experimental infection of immunosuppressed rabbits with Encephalitozoon cuniculi. A total of thirty rabbits were divided into five groups: NN (non-immunosuppressed; non-infected), IN (immunosuppressed; non-infected), IPI (immunosuppressed; protected-infected), ITI (...
