Emphysematous gastritis in an immunocompromised host
Clinical Imaging, 1995Emphysematous gastritis is a rare, often lethal condition of gastric mural inflammation and gaseous dissection. Infection with gas-forming organisms is the most frequently cited cause. In all previously reported patients, the clinical presentation was dramatic. We report on an immunocompromised host who had a surprisingly subtle clinical presentation.

Update on Strongyloidiasis in the Immunocompromised Host
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2010Immunocompromised persons are the most vulnerable population at risk for developing life-threatening clinical syndromes associated with strongyloidiasis, such as hyperinfection syndrome (HS) or dissemination. This review focuses on describing Strongyloides infection in the immunocompromised host, including immune response against this infection ...

Pneumonia in the Immunocompromised Host
Seminars in Roentgenology, 2022Pneumonia 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 ...

Dermatologic Clinics, 1989
Infection still remains the most common immediate cause of death in the immunocompromised host. Because of the decreased host defenses leading not only to an increased susceptibility to a variety of opportunistic pathogens (in particular the fungi) but also to a decreased host inflammatory response and resultant clinical findings, infections in these ...

Fever in Immunocompromised Hosts
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2013Fever is one of the most common reasons for the emergency department presentation of immunocompromised patients. Their differential diagnosis can be broad and includes rare or unexpected pathogens. Certain infectious causes of fever portend true emergencies; if they are not managed appropriately, rapid progression and death may ensue.

Mucormycosis in the immunocompromised host
Infection, 1983We are presenting two typical case histories of mucormycosis in patients with acute leukaemia which illustrate some of the important features of this infection in compromised hosts. In such patients, mucormycosis is mostly pulmonary or widely disseminated and often has a rapidly fatal course.

Infection in the immunocompromised host
The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1985The largest numbers of immunocompromised pediatric patients are neonates and children who are managed in intensive care units. Therapeutic principles that apply to the classic neutropenic cancer patient are also relevant for these categories; maximum doses of bactericidal antibiotics given for longer periods should be used. Pediatricians should also be

FEVER IN THE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED HOST
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1998A 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.

Pneumonia in the immunocompromised host
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2014Novel treatment modalities for previously fatal diseases, including newer chemotherapeutic and biologic agents and the expansion of the indications for solid organ and stem cell transplantation, have resulted in prolonged patient survival and a significant increase in the population of immunocompromised hosts (ICHs).This review discusses the increasing

Travel and the immunocompromised host
Hospital Medicine, 2000Increasing 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.
