Laryngopharyngeal dysthesia (LPD) in oxaliplatin infusion (OXLP).

چکیده
In the present study, we have encountered about 100% sensitivity to Ciprofloxacin by disc diffusion method but Nalidixic acid resistance was about 89%. Interestingly, 80 out of 93 isolates of Salmonella typhi (86.02%) and 37 out of 38 isolates of Salmonella paratyphi A (97.36%) were Nalidixic acid resistant; MIC for Ciprofloxacin being more than 1 μg/ml. This implies that Nalidixic acid resistance is associated with higher MIC’s for Ciprofloxacin rendering Fluoroquinolones clinically ineffective in-spite of sensitivity shown by disc diffusion method in-vitro. But most of the microbiology laboratories resort to disc diffusion method for sensitivity testing, making it imperative for a clinician to look for Nalidixic acid sensitivity before prescribing Fluoroquinolones to the patient with salmonellosis.

Hypersensitivity Reactions to oxaliplatin: incidence and management.
Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) is a novel platinum compound that has activity in a wide variety of tumors. Several hypersensitivity reactions distinct from laryngopharyngeal dysesthesia have been described. We retrospectively analyzed 169 consecutive patients who received oxaliplatin for esophageal or colorectal cancer between 1/1/00 and 7/31/02 and reviewed any significant adverse reactions labeled as...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (EBV-LPD) following bone marrow transplantation can be fatal. The major risk factors for the development of EBV-LPD are ex vivo T-cell depletion or in vivo T-cell depletion with either antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or monoclonal anti-T-cell antibodies. Between March 1999 and January 2001, a total of 23 transplants with ATG of equin...

متن کاملPrevention of Epstein-Barr virus-lymphoproliferative disease by molecular monitoring and preemptive rituximab in high-risk patients after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
Recipients of a partially T-cell-depleted (TCD) allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) developing reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) with quantified viral DNA levels exceeding 1000 genome equivalents/milliliter (geq/mL) are at high risk for EBV-lymphoproliferative disease (EBV-LPD). We studied whether preemptive therapy with rituximab prevents EBV-LPD, LPD-mortality, and abrogate...
