Fusidic acid is an active agent against a wide variety of gram-positive bacteria, and it has been increasingly used in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. The major adverse effects are mild gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea. The hematological side effects such as granulocytopenia and thrombocytopenia have been rarely reported in western countries, but have not been doc...

Background: Hematological abnormalities are a common complication of HIV infection and occur in all stages of the infection. These abnormalities increase as the disease advances. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of bone marrow sampling in HIV-positive patients. Methods: 40 HIV-infected individuals were screened for hematological abnormalities. Investigations such as iron studies, he...

INTRODUCTION Febrile neutropenia is a common complication of chemotherapy treatment of malignant hematological diseases. However, there is insufficient information regarding the infectious complications of febrile neutropenia in our country. Objective. We will evaluate the microbial characteristics of bacterial and fungal isolates and the clinical outcome of patients with febrile neutropenia wh...

septicemia in neonates is the commonest cause of mortality. early recognition and diagnosis of neonatal sepsis remains a challenge because of the variable and nonspecific clinical presentation. the laboratory criteria are often non specific and not fully reliable. the objective of this review is to highlight the various hematological and biological markers of neonatal sepsis. we searched pubmed...

introduction: fasting during ramadan is a religious obligation for healthy adult muslims. this study aimed to investigate the effects of ramadan fasting and physical activity on blood hematological and biochemical parameters in male and female subjects. methods: in this study, 50 healthy subjects were randomly assigned to four groups: male control fasting (mcf) group (n=13), male training fasti...

Material and Methods: The system is made of 241Am as gamma source .The...

Background: Early detection of neonatal sepsis and categorization of patients based on clinical severity is not yet effectively achieved. Some hematological parameters are used to formulate a hematological scoring system (HSS) and a modified hematological scoring system (MHSS) to diagnose neonatal sepsis. A promising biomarker: Presepsin, or Soluble Cluster of Differentiation 14 SubType (sCD14-...
