Severe atypical herpes zoster as an initial symptom of fatal myelodysplastic syndrome with refractory anemia and blast excess (RAEB II)
Herpes zoster is a common disease caused due to varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection with increasing incidence by age. If the patient has a severe, extended, or treatment-recalcitrant course of herpes zoster, this must be a red flag to search for underlying pathologies. Here, we report about a 64-year-old male patient with diabetes, who came to our emergency department because of general mala...
متن کاملBullous Pemphigoid in an Elderly Patient with Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Refractory Anemia Coupled with Excess of Blast
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) has a recognized association with solid organ tumors, but is relatively rare in hematological malignancies. We report a 67-year-old male who developed BP after being diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome and refractory anemia with excess of blast (RAEB). Skin biopsy elucidated sub-epidermal bulla using direct immunofluorescence, revealing linear C3 and IgG deposits alo...
متن کاملA case of fatal varicella zoster infection with refractory abdominal pain as an early symptom.
In economically developed countries over 95% of healthy adults have been exposed to varicella zoster virus (VZV) during childhood1). Therefore, not only primary infection but also reactivation with VZV are considered to be quite benign, and little consideration is given to the concomitant morbidity and mortality. It is the adult patient, along with the immunocompromised patient of any age, howe...
متن کاملIdentification of genes underlying different methylation profiles in refractory anemia with excess blast and refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia in myelodysplastic syndrome
BACKGROUND Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a preleukemic condition that transforms into acute myeloid leukemia. However, the genetic events underlying this transformation remain poorly understood. Aberrant DNA methylation may play a causative role in the disease and its prognosis. Thus, we compared the DNA methylation profiles in refractory anemia with excess blast (RAEB) to those in refracto...
متن کاملClonal evolution of monosomy 7 in acquired severe aplastic anemia: Two cases treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Aplastic anemia (AA) may evolve into clonal diseases like myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloblastic leuke¬mia (AML). Monosomy 7 is a poor prognostic chromosomal abnormality commonly associated with therapy related MDS and secondary AML. It has also been associated with leukomogenic transformation in AA. We present here two adult ma¬le patients with acquired severe AA. Both patients ...
