Most oseltamivir-resistant pandemic (H1N1) 2009 viruses have been isolated from immunocompromised patients. To describe the clinical features, treatment, outcomes, and virologic data associated with infection from pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus with H275Y mutation in immunocompromised patients, we retrospectively identified 49 hematology-oncology patients infected with pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus. S...

Introduction anal condylomas are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and a risk factor for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Objective to conduct meta-analysis evaluating the prevalence of high-risk-HPV, high-grade intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) SCC in patients condylomas. The standardised incidence ratio (SIR) rate (IR) were also calculated. Methods three electronic databases sea...

Gastrointestinal infections are more common and more severe in immunocompromised individuals. This study was performed on immunocompromised patients namely those infected with HIV, transplants recipient and those with haematological malignancies. Work was carried out in the parasitological laboratory, Department of Microbiology, SGPGIMS, Lucknow from 1st February 2008 to 31st June 2008. We foun...

•Usual-type VIN is an HPV-associated premalignant condition that can affect immunocompromised patients and may have multifocal, multicentric involvement.•Immunocompromised patients who may be poor surgical candidates, and in whom topical modalities may prove ineffective, treatment remains a challenge.•We present such a patient in whom sinecatechin was successfully used as an alternative to less...

INTRODUCTION Medical advances have led to an increase in the world's population of immunosuppressed individuals. The most severely immunocompromised patients are those who have been diagnosed with a hematologic malignancy, solid organ tumor, or who have other conditions that require immunosuppressive therapies and/or solid organ or stem cell transplants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medically attend...

Immunocompromised patients are prone to develop various pulmonary complications. The range of diagnostic possibilities is wide, infection being the commonest cause. Non-invasive diagnostic tests are often unrewarding. In this study, we have evaluated the diagnostic efficacy and safety of fibreoptic bronchoscopy in immunocompromised patients with pulmonary infiltrates. Patients tolerated the pro...

Partial thickness skin grafts have been reported to take poorly in the immunocompromised patients. We however present a 30 year old immunocompromised female patient with a chronic skin ulcer after surgical debridement for pyomyositis with subsequent loss of skin and subcutaneous tissue. The ulcer was contaminated with E. coli. The ulcer was severally debrided and was successfully skin grafted. ...

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection can be responsible for chronic hepatitis in immunocompromised patients, and can rapidly evolve into fibrosis and/or hepatic cirrhosis. We present two cases of chronic hepatitis E, emphasizing the need to be aware of this entity as a growing etiology of hepatitis in transplant and immunocompromised patients.
