Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is character-ized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenia, hyper-triglyceridemia, hypofibrinogenemia, and hemophago-cytosis. Ascites is not mentioned as a symptom of hemophagocytic syndrome. We report a one month-old girl suffering from familial erythrophagocytic lympho-histiocytosis, who presented with ascites.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is the major obstacle to successful allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Although novel immunosuppressants, including tacrolimus (FK506), have been introduced clinically, the probability of grade II-IV acute GVHD is still relatively high, at 32-33 % in related SCT 1, 2 and 34-56 % in unrelated SCT. 3, 4 Furthermore, a significant proportion of patients pr...

We studied the alloreactive properties of donor T cells obtained from F1 mice that had recovered from the allosuppression of acute graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) and showed mild symptoms of chronic GVHD, i.e., so-called secondary chronic GVHD. To this end, we used (B10 x DBA/2)F1 mice that had been injected with 10(8) B10 spleen cells 100-150 d previously. Such GVHD F1 mice were repopulated by l...

METHODS: The results of LNT for LEL were compared between the conventional single LNT group (control group; n = 21 limbs), the multiple LNFs group (n = 13), and the prefabricated lympho-venous shunt group (n = 13) in terms of volume improvement (the LEL index), lymphoscintigraphy findings, and the rate of functional survival and lymph node sizes (evaluated using ultrasonography) at 6 months aft...

Sweet’s syndrome (SS) is a rare acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by an abrupt onset of fever, arthralgia, neutrophilia, tender erythematous papules, nodules, and plaques. We present case series patients seen at the dermatology department Ibn Sina University Hospital (Rabat). The goal our study was to describe epidemiological, clinical profile possible association Sweet in dep...
