However, because of its rare incidence, Wernicke's encephalopathy can easily be overlooked in HSCT patients, and a few misleading steps in the early stage of the disea...
متن کاملThrombotic microangiopathy following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this article is to assess the current understanding and uncertainties about the evaluation and management of thrombotic microangiopathy that occurs following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. RECENT FINDINGS Current data may not be sufficient to establish posttransplantation thrombotic microangiopathy as a discrete clinical or pathologic entity, ...
متن کاملLinezolid Induced Twice Pure Red Cell Aplasia in a Patient with Central Nervous System Infection after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
Linezolid (LZD), severed as the first oxazolidinone antibiotic, was active against multidrug-resistant gram-positive strains. LZD can induce thrombocytopenia, anemia and leukocytopenia. Currently, reports on pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) cases induced by LZD are relatively rare [4-7]. In this paper, we reported a patient with PRCA twice induced by LZD. A 37-year-old man was diagnosed with myelody...
