Mees' Lines

چکیده
There are different nail manifestations of systemic diseases. This case represents Mees' lines. In the current report, this phenomenon was caused by chemotherapy agents used for treatment of leukemia. It was caused by medication insult to the nail matrix. Nonblanching and impalpable nail bands, migration with the nail growth, and thumb involvement differentiate Mees' from Beau's and Muehrcke's lines.

The patient received 5 courses of chemotherapy with complete remission after the first induction. Each aplasia was marked by deep infection, often treated with antibiotherapy and antifungal treatment. Chemotherapy courses included aracytine, ...
متن کامل[Biochemical differences in middle ear effusions between pediatric and adult patients, (II). The protein composition].
To clarify the biochemical differences between pediatric and adult middle ear effusions (MEEs) in secretory otitis media with effusion (OME), we analyzed the protein components from MEEs of 3 children and 3 adults by electrophoresis. High molecular protein components (280 and 265 kDa proteins), which contained in sera in the concentrations less than 2.5%, were not detected in MEEs even in trace...
متن کاملInterleukin-8 and chemotactic activity of middle ear effusions.
The importance of interleukin (IL)-8 in the chemotactic activity of middle ear effusions (MEEs) was evaluated. There was a significantly higher IL-8 concentration in MEEs of children with acute otitis media (AOM) (n = 17; 136 ng/mL) than in children with otitis media with effusion (OME) (n = 28; 65 ng/mL). The IL-8 concentration in MEEs with bacteria (149 ng/mL) was significantly higher than in...
متن کاملEndotoxin in middle-ear effusions from patients with chronic otitis media with effusion.
Endotoxin concentrations were determined in middle-ear effusions (MEEs) from 89 children with chronic otitis media by using the Limulu's amoebocyte lysate assay. Mean concentrations of endotoxin in Haemophilus influenzae-positive and Streptococcus pneumoniae-positive MEEs were 157 and 21.8 ng/ml, respectively, and were significantly different (P less than 0.01). Endotoxin was also found in Gram...
