Neutropenias (NPs), being acute and often transient, or chronic, range from life-threatening conditions with very low absolute neutrophil blood counts (ANC) to disorders characterized by only mild NP and of no obvious significance for health. Many are caused by genetic variations/mutations, e.g...
In immuno-compromised patients, the criteria of the antigen titers have to be adapted to the degree of neutropenia. Likewise, positive cultures and ... Dr. R. Rüchel,Birgitt Böning-Stutzer,A. Mari - 《Mycoses》 被引量: 89发表: 1988年 Sleep Disorders in Patients with Parkinson's Disease...
The evaluation of neutropenia is dictated by the acuity of the clinical presentation and the duration, age, and clinical status of the patient. In this review, we provide a practical approach to the evaluation of the adult patient with neutropenia, with the major focus on the evaluation of ...
The human immune system is an important set of organs and processes that all work together to protect the body from invasion by foreign pathogens, like bacteria. Some of the components of the immune system include the white blood cells, the spleen, and the bone marrow....
[1]. More patients are being treated, more intensive regimens are being used, and patients more often undergo stem cell transplantation with the primary goal to control the disease. The result, in most of the cases, is an increase in the number of cases of patients with neutropenia [2]. ...
However, one should keep in mind that neutropenia and compromised immune functional status usually concur in several conditions. Following this rough categorization, common neutro- penic conditions that may lead to the development of invasive aspergillosis are hematologic malignancies and myeloablative ...
Hyperthermia is the condition of the body when the temperature of the body stays above {eq}100.9^0 F {/eq} due to the failure of thermoregulation of the body. Thermoregulation is the heat-regulating mechanism of the body that helps in maintaining body temperature at a stable range irrespective...
Anemia, neutropenia (low white blood cell count), or thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) due to the abnormal growth of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot inside the blood vessel. Raynaud phenomenon is a condition resulting in discoloration of the fi...
Use of intravenous gamma globulin for the treatment of autoimmune neutropenia of childhood and autoimmune hemolytic anemia Intravenous gamma globulin (IVIG) was used to treat autoimmune neutropenia of childhood and autoimmune hemolytic anemia, two autoimmune disorders not previously treated with this modality...
What serologic tests are used to diagnose these infections? How do people become infected with pinworms? How do people get infected with ascaris infection? How the lymphatic system can hinder the spread of cancer? Explain how a person with a severe infection can develop neutropenia. Elephantiasis...
