The Underestimated Role of Environmental Factors in the Prevention of Invasive Fungal Disease: Experience From a European Childhood Cancer Centre. [PDF]

Mycoses
ABSTRACT Background Immunocompromised children with hematologic malignancies or undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are at high risk for invasive fungal diseases (IFDs). Reported incidence varies considerably due to heterogeneous diagnostic criteria, antifungal strategies and environmental conditions.

Metachromatic Leukodystrophy Presenting with Multiple Cranial Nerve and Lumbosacral Nerve Root Enhancement Without White Matter Changes [PDF]

Neurology International
Background: Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that causes demyelination of both the central (CNS) and peripheral nervous systems (PNS). Objective: This study aims to report a unique MLD case presenting with cranial

Neurodegenerative disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in metachromatic leukodystrophy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2023
Objective Metachromatic leukodystrophy is a lysosomal storage disease caused by deficient arylsulfatase A. It is characterized by progressive demyelination and thus mainly affects the white matter.

A case of adult-onset metachromatic leukodystrophy beginning with behavioral symtoms

Klinik Psikiyatri Dergisi, 2023
Metachromatic leukodystrophy is a rare inherited disorder of the nervous system with great clinical variability characterized by loss of both cognitive and motor functions upon extensive white matter damage by the accumulation of sulfatides.

Metachromatic leukodystrophy associated with choledochal cysts and gallbladder papillomatosis

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2019
Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by the deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatase A which is responsible for the desulfation of cerebroside sulfate, a myelin glycolipid.

Late infantile and adult‐onset metachromatic leukodystrophy due to novel missense variants in the PSAP gene: Case report from India

JIMD Reports, 2023
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) due to Sap‐B deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused due to biallelic variants in the PSAP gene. The PSAP gene encodes a precursor protein prosaposin, which is subsequently cleaved to form four active ...

Accumulation of lysosulfatide in the brain of arylsulfatase A-deficient mice

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2011
Lysosomal storage diseases are a group of disorders where accumulation of catabolites is manifested in the lysosomes of different cell types. In metachromatic leukodystrophy (Arylsulfatase A [EC.3.1.6.8] deficiency) storage of the glycosphingolipid ...
