Discrepant Urinary Findings Between Dipstick Protein and Sulfosalicylic Acid Test in a Patient With Hyaline Casts: A Case Report

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
In this post‐transplant patient, increased hyaline casts with negative dipstick protein but positive SSA testing occurred during evolving acute kidney injury and resolved with renal recovery. This discordant urinalysis pattern may warrant confirmatory protein testing and correlation with serial renal function in patients at high risk of AKI.

Pediatric Clostridiodes difficile infection with toxic megacolon successfully treated with fecal microbiota transplantation

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract The rising incidence of pediatric Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), particularly in medically complex patients, calls for novel, individualized treatments. While fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is well‐described for recurrent CDI, this report describes the first pediatric case of fulminant CDI with toxic megacolon successfully ...

Myeloablative Busulfan, Fludarabine and Melphalan Conditioning for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Childhood Myeloid Malignancy

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
We report our single‐center experience of transplant outcomes with a busulfan, fludarabine and melphalan‐based conditioning regimen for children < 18 years of age. The regimen was shown to be well tolerated and effective for heavily pretreated children with high‐risk myeloid malignancies prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

Expression pattern of the Pneumocystis jirovecii major surface glycoprotein superfamily in patients with pneumonia. [PDF]

, 2021
BACKGROUND The human pathogen Pneumocystis jirovecii harbors six families of major surface glycoproteins (MSG) encoded by a single gene superfamily. MSGs are presumably responsible for antigenic variation and adhesion to host cells.
