Gastrointestinal mucormycosis in immunocompromised hosts
Mycoses, 2015SummaryInvasive mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection in immunocompromised hosts, but it carries a high mortality rate. Primary gastrointestinal disease is the least frequent form of presentation. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical in the management; however, symptoms are typically non‐specific in gastrointestinal disease, leading to delayed ...

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.

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

An immunocompromised host is an individual whose immune defense mechanisms are impaired. This may be due to decreased antibody formation (B lymphocyte function), cell-mediated immunity (T lymphocyte function), granulocyte function, or a combination of these.

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.

Sinusitis in the immunocompromised host
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999Sinusitis occurs in a wide range of immunocompromised hosts, including neutropenic patients, diabetic patients, patients in critical care units, and patients with HIV infection. Reversal of underlying risk factors, such as neutropenia or diabetic ketoacidosis, is essential in the treatment of fungal rhinosinusitis.

Gastrointestinal infections in immunocompromised hosts
Current Opinion in Internal Medicine, 2006Gastrointestinal infections in the immunocompromised host continue to have significant morbidity and mortality throughout the world. They all have similar exposures to viruses, bacteria and parasites and respond to these infections in a similar way. This review will summarize the latest reports on the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of known and ...

Management of the Immunocompromised Host
Medical Clinics of North America, 1984This article deals with the management of the immunocompromised host. Mechanisms of immunocompromise include alterations in skin and mucosal barriers, normal oral and intestinal flora, splenic function, and number or function of T cells, B cells, granulocytes, and monocytes.
