Eosinophilia and Hypereosinophilia: A Practical Approach to Navigating a Broad Differential Diagnosis

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eosinophilia, defined as an absolute eosinophil count (AEC) of ≥ 0.5 × 109/L, is a frequently encountered finding with a vast spectrum of potential underlying etiologies. Hypereosinophilia (HE) is defined as AEC > 1.5 × 109/L and may become life‐threatening when eosinophil‐induced organ damage occurs, defining the hypereosinophilic syndrome ...

Preventing infections after CD19‐directed chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell therapies for lymphoma: a consensus practice statement

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapies directed against cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19) are a standard of care for relapsed or refractory B‐cell lymphomas. Infection is the leading cause of non‐relapse mortality, and this risk may persist for years after CAR T‐cell receipt.

Invasive Fungal Infections in Heart Transplants: A 10‐Year, Single Centre Retrospective Cohort Study From Subtropical Australia

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
In this 10‐year retrospective cohort study of heart transplant recipients in subtropical Australia, we characterize the incidence and microbiological profile of invasive fungal infections, highlighting the underappreciated burden of late‐onset and non‐Aspergillus mold infections and the potential underdiagnosis of polymicrobial disease.

[Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in influenza]. [PDF]

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2015
BACKGROUND: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a life-threatening infection that occurs predominantly in severely immunocompromised patients. Recently, IPA is also increasingly seen in less severely immunocompromised patients, such as patients with COPD receiving glucocorticoids and patients on ventilation in an IC unit.
