Immunization of immunocompromised persons

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2003
Advances in medicine, science, and technology have led to increasing numbers of people in the general population with altered host defenses. The risk for clinical infection in an immunocompromised host, such as a person who has received a solid organ transplant, is determined largely by the interaction between two factors: the epidemiologic exposures ...

Tumors of the Immunocompromised Patient

Annual Review of Medicine, 1988
Immunocompromised patients are prone to develop certain malignancies, particularly involving cells of the immune system itself (1-3). In this chapter we describe the various neoplasms, note the differences between these and similar cancers in the general population, emphasize similar tumor patterns in different types of immunodeficiency, and discuss ...

Rash in an Immunocompromised Patient

JAMA, 2012
A 48-YEAR-OLD MAN WITH LOW-RISK ACUTE PROMYELOCYTIC LEUKEMIA (APL) undergoes induction chemotherapy with daily all-trans retinoic acid (tretinoin), cytarabine (days 1-7), and daunorubicin (days 1-3). His clinical course is complicated by low-grade fever and a rash on day 15.

Typhlitis in an Immunocompromised Patient

Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2002
We report the case of a young man who presented with right lower quadrant pain, while being treated for acute lymphatic leukaemia. Clinical findings were suggestive of appendicitis. Computed tomography scan of the abdomen was done and showed the presence of a neutropenic enterocolitis or typhlitis.

Creating immunocompromised districts

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2017
We read the letter to the editor, Viral warts and seborrheic keratosis on tattoos: a review of 9 cases with great interest.1 Dermatologists see only what they know! Once we recognized the possibility that warts might grow preferentially in black and blue tattoo dye, we collected 7 cases over a 10-year period from one solo private practice.

Pneumonia in the Immunocompromised Host

Seminars in Roentgenology, 2022
Pneumonia in the immunocompromised host can be devastating and can result from both common and opportunistic organisms. This paper examines the imaging findings in mostly opportunistic organisms which cause pneumonia in the immunocompromised host. Some organisms, such as tuberculosis, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, and influenza will also be discussed ...

Pneumonia in Immunocompromised Patients

RadioGraphics
By recognizing imaging patterns associated with opportunistic organisms in immunocompromised patients, radiologists can narrow the differential diagnosis and expedite treatment, reducing morbidity and mortality rates in immunocompromised patients at risk.

FEVER IN THE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED HOST

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1998
A broad classification of immune defects provides a framework for the approach to fever in the immunocompromised host. Practical, historical, and physical examination findings are reviewed, and common clinical scenarios are highlighted. A general initial work-up and treatment plan are outlined.

Panniculitis in an immunocompromised patient

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1991
We present a patient in whom histoplasmosis panniculitis developed during steroid therapy for pancytopenia secondary to myelodysplasia. Although the cutaneous manifestations of disseminated histoplasmosis are rare, we review them because of the increasing numbers of organ-transplant patients, as well as other patients with immunodeficiency, including ...

Norovirus infection in immunocompromised hosts

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2014
Acute gastroenteritis caused by noroviruses often has a duration of 2–0 days and is characteristically self-limiting. In contrast, chronic infection caused by noroviruses in immunocompromised individuals can last from weeks to years, making clinical ...
