Blood plasma metagenomic next-generation sequencing for identifying pathogens of febrile neutropenia in acute leukemia patients Article Open access 20 November 2023 Clinical impact of a metagenomic microbial plasma cell-free DNA next-generation sequencing assay on treatment decisions: a single-center retr...
The diagnostic value of CRP, IL-8, PCT, and sTREM-1 in the detection of bacterial infections in pediatric oncology patients with febrile neutropenia. Support Care Cancer 2011;19:1593–600. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00520-010-0987-6.Search in Google Scholar PubMed PubMed Central 42. ...
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...
Thus, there remains a need for diagnostic procedures for both of these diseases and other neurological diseases that are (i) accurate and objective, (ii) simple and reproducible, and (iii) useful in both early and late stage case. In accordance with the present invention, there is provided ...
factor therapy used to hasten bone marrow recovery [41,94,95]. Neutropenia recovery is not associated with respiratory symptoms in patients with no previous history of lung disease, a fact that emphasizes the need for extensive causal investigations when lung disease develops during neutropenia ...
(from dental procedures), psychological stress, malignancy, radiotherapy, and immunocompromised conditions such as organ transplantation, immunosuppressive therapy, and HIV infection are contributory factors for VZV reactivation. The incidence of HZI is 1.5–3 cases per 1,000 persons, which increases to...
vari- ants, disagreement on releasing IFs, high demand for data storage, inadequate informed consent procedures for genetic testing, and a limited workforce of laboratory and clinical geneticists and genetic counselors have to be addressed before we realize the full potential of this exciting ...
Patients older than 18 years admitted to these ICUs for 48 h or more with clinical suspicion of HAP or VAP were prospectively and consecutively included. Patients with severe immuno- suppression (neutropenia after chemotherapy or hematopoietic transplant, drug-induced immune suppres- sion in solid-...
Direct detection of exogenous fungal metabolites in breath may be used as a novel, noninvasive, species-specific approach to identify patients with invasive aspergillosis (IA), potentially allowing more precise targeting of antifungal therapy and fewer invasive diagnostic procedures. Gas chromatography coup...
