R-EBUS assisted TBB is a promising and safe procedure for the evaluation of nonresolving pulmonary infiltrates in febrile neutropenic hemato-oncological patients.doi:10.1007/s00408-016-9947-3Bernasconi, MaurizioCasutt, AlessioKoutsokera, Angela
For this procedure, 10 ml of normal saline 0.9% were instilled, then suctioned with a catheter and collected with a Lukens trap. Transport and processing of specimens: Immediately after collection, 1 ml of RNA Later® Solution (Ambion® Life Technologies) was added to the IS and ...

neutropenia59. It suggests that AC chemotherapy did not cause neutropenia. Overall, it suggests that cancer patients display a distinguishing pattern of peripheral blood components, and this pattern can be used for the classification of advanced breast cancer using machine learning techniques60. Breast ...
In this analysis, the levels of CRP and IL-8 were employed as a guide for designing the duration of antibiotics administration in the condition of febrile neutropenia. The importance of laboratory biomarkers is in the early diagnosis of critical illness and adjustment of further management. IL-8...
No association of neutropenia with more infections was observed. No bleeding in thrombocytopenic patients was observed. The data show that endoscopy in high-risk pediatric patients with malignant diseases is a safe procedure. Endoscopy reveals relevant information and have therapeutic impact with high ...
In our case, the patient has presented the second time with neutropenia which can be explained with the use of ciprofloxin for 3 days [9]. Due to the vague clinical presentation it is difficult to differentiate it from other more common acute abdominal conditions with physical examination ...
Absence of neutropenia or fever did not rule out infection. Ulcerated or necrotic lesions and bacteremia or fungemia were independent predictors of infection. In the evaluation of patients with leukemia and new skin lesions, skin biopsy remains an important procedure to rule out infection, and is ...
The results of TTNB led to changes in antimicrobial therapy for eight of the 22 patients with specific diagnoses (36.4%). TTNB is a safe diagnostic procedure in patients with hematologic malignancies and has the potential of making specific diagnoses with minimal morbidity....
Evaluation by fiberoptic bronchoscopy together with BAL proved to be a safe procedure with an adequate diagnostic yield that made it possible to determine the etiology of the pulmonary infiltrates seen in chest x-rays. Both positive and negative results of BAL were useful for treating the patients...
