Hairy-cell leukaemia in a renal transplant recipient.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hairy-cell leukaemia is a rather uncommon chronic malignant lymphoproliferative disorder accounting for about 2% of all adult leukaemia cases [1]. This clonal B-cell proliferation [2] is characterized by a cellular infiltration of both bone marrow and spleen by large differentiated B cells, often exhibiting hair-like protrusions (hairy cells). We report here the first case of hairy-cell leukaemia diagnosed in a renal transplant recipient.

A paraneoplastic membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with isolated C3 deposits associated with hairy cell leukaemia.
We describe a 35-year-old woman who presented with proteinuria and microscopic haematuria. Blood tests revealed a low C3 complement level, with no evidence of cryoglobulin. Renal biopsy showed a Type 1 membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) with isolated C3 deposits on immunofluorescence study. Bone marrow aspirate, done for monocytopenia, was consistent with a diagnosis of hairy cell ...

Cutaneous leishmaniasis may present as unusual manifestations in renal transplant patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. This misleading presentation, may delay the diagnosis and treatment. Moreover special caution must be taken in renal transplant recipients because of possible interactions between antimony compounds and cyclosporine metabolites. We report a 45-year old man with 5 years...

cyclosporin may not greatly increase the toxicity ofaggressive chemotherapy used in the treatment of haematological malignancies. Sonneveld and Nooter reported a patient with resistent AML to whom they administered cyclosporin without any excessive toxicity, although their patient had profound marrow hypoplasia for three weeks.9 Septic shock is a well recognised problem in severely neutropenic ...
متن کاملHepatic candidiasis in a kidney transplant recipient treated successfully with amphotericin B and itraconazole.
The incidence of hepatic candidiasis is difficult to estimate because of diagnostic difficulties. Its frequency was 7% in a study of 562 adult patients with leukaemia [1]. Hepatic candidiasis (HC), also referred to as chronic disseminated candidiasis, hepatosplenic candidiasis and granulomatous hepatic candidiasis, affects almost exclusively patients undergoing remission induction chemotherapy ...
متن کاملChronic parvovirus B19 infection-associated pure red cell anaemia in a kidney transplant recipient.
Transplant recipients are known to be susceptible to primary viral infections or to reactivation of a persistent virus. Most of the clinically relevant infections are caused by the herpes-viridae group (CMV, EBV, VZV, HSV I and II). Human parvovirus B19 was first discovered 1975 in human packed blood [1] and subsequently shown to cause fifth disease or erythema infectiosum in children [2]. The ...
