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 ...

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 ...

Chickenpox in the immunocompromised child

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2012
For the majority of children who are immunocompromised or who require immunosuppression, their primary diagnosis necessitates a difficult programme of prolonged treatment. In countries with no varicella vaccination, this is compounded by the ever-present and significant threat of chickenpox. Potential exposures must be avoided, causing children to miss

Infections in the Immunocompromised Patient

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1994
Specific microorganisms have certain types of host defenses directed at them. Inhibition of different host defenses, therefore, leads to an increased risk of the host for infection with different organisms. This article discusses the types of infections present in immunocompromised patients as well as a general approach to diagnosis and treatment.

Vaccination of the Immunocompromised Patient

Biologicals, 1997
The increasing number of immunocompromised persons both in industrialized countries and the developing world are at higher risk of acquiring certain diseases. Health professionals and doctors need to implement adequate vaccination strategies. According to the type of the underlying disease, its course and the therapy, the response to vaccine may be ...

Diarrhea in the Immunocompromised Patient

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2012
Diarrhea is a common problem in patients with immunocompromising conditions. The etiologic spectrum differs from patients with diarrhea who have a normal immune system. This article reviews the most important causes of diarrhea in immunocompromised patients, ranging from infectious causes to noninfectious causes of diarrhea in the setting of HIV ...

Travel and the immunocompromised host

Hospital Medicine, 2000
Increasing opportunities for travel and advances in medicine mean that immunocompromised patients may venture to potentially risky parts of the world. This article examines the risks faced by such travellers. Some limitations of standard travel vaccines are discussed and suggestions are made as to how best to advise such travellers.
