 Preeclampsia may cause both maternal and neonatal complications. Uteroplacental dysfunction is one of the reasons fetal complications in preeclampsia. Recent findings about etiology pathogenesis disease shows that inflammation factors responsible for complications, thus should be associated with same inflammatory process. We considered evaluating mean platelet volume (MPV) infants bor...

For over 60 years, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been the major curative therapy for several hematological and genetic disorders, but its efficacy is limited by the secondary disease called graft versus host disease (GvHD). Huge advances have been made in successful transplantation in order to improve patient quality of life, and yet, complete success is hard to achieve. This revi...

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has a half-century history. It is currently an indispensable treatment for not only incurable blood diseases such as aplastic anemia and severe hemolytic anemia, but also malignant hematological diseases such as leukemia and lymphoma. Although allergenic HSCT is also used to treat hereditary diseases, its indica‐ tions are restricted because of cri...

The 11-year old girl presented a diagnosis of viral hepatitis A confirmed by anti-HVA IgM. Eight 8 weeks after, she developed hemorrhagic syndrome coupled with fever associated and persistent jaundice. The blood count showed aregenerative pancytopenia secondary to aplastic anemia confirmed by bone marrow biopsy. During conditioning for allogenic bone marrow grafts, the patient developed general...

Malaria is the most prevalent parasitic infection in the world and contributes to be a major health problem globally. According to WHO approximately 219 million cases of malaria occurs annually with 660000 deaths in 2010. India contributes 75-77% of total malaria cases in SEAR. 1 Malaria has been entrenched in India for countless years and recent data suggest that burden of disease actually inc...

Infectious complications are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematological diseases, especially during chemotherapy induced neutropenia. This study was undertaken with the ultimate goal to improve the clinical management of infections in patients with hematological diseases. In a relatively large hematology centre where antibiotic prophylaxis was generally not use...

Tuberculosis (TB), a common health problem in developing countries, is a specific multi-systemic infection that can lead protean manifestations in any organ system. Anemia and leukocytosis are the most frequent hematological findings at presentation and during the long clinical course of the disease. Coombs’-positive hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) are exceedingly rar...

Splenomegaly-induced thrombocytopenia is fully described in hematological and surgical literature, but its association with severe aortic stenosis is rare. We present a case of severe aortic valve stenosis with severe splenomegaly-induced thrombocytopenia in which aortic valve replacement was done with a number 23 homograft and splenectomy was performed after the end of cardiopulmonary bypass. ...

Introduction Systemic lupus erythromatosus (SLE) is a complex and systemic autoimmune disease. It is characterized by diverse clinical symptoms, revealing widespread immunemediated damage. The common clinical features diagnosed in patients with SLE comprise of skin and joint diseases, hematological abnormalities, renal disease and neuropsychiatric complications. Although the etiology of SLE is ...

The Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a lymphocytic infiltration of salivary and lacrimal glands. Hematological manifestations of primary SS (pSS) usually consist of mild anemia, thrombocytopenia, moderate neutropenia, and lymphopenia. Agranulocytosis is rarely reported and usually responds to immunosuppression. We report the case of a pSS patient who presented w...
