A Case of Delayed Refractory Mycobacterium mageritense Abdominal Wall Abscess in a Kidney Transplant Recipient

IJU Case Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Mycobacterium mageritense (M. mageritense), a rare non‐tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), can cause infections in immunocompromised patients, including kidney transplant recipients. We present a case of an abdominal wall abscess caused by M. mageritense following a living donor kidney transplant.

Pneumocystis Pneumonia During Medicamentous Treatment of Cushing’s Syndrome – A Description of Two Cases

Acta Medica, 2011
Only a few cases of pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in Cushing’s syndrome have been published in the literature so far. In the majority of these patients, the pneumonia occurred after reduction of the hypercortisolism with medicamentous treatment. We report

FPAENet: Pneumonia Detection Network Based on Feature Pyramid Attention Enhancement [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Automatic pneumonia Detection based on deep learning has increasing clinical value. Although the existing Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) and its variants have already achieved some great successes, their detection accuracies for pneumonia lesions in medical images are still unsatisfactory. In this paper, we propose a pneumonia detection network based on

A Case of Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis During Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Treatment for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, Complicated by Pancytopenia Attributed to Cytomegalovirus Infection

IJU Case Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is characterized by macrophage and cytotoxic lymphocyte hyperactivation, fever, pancytopenia, liver dysfunction, and abnormal coagulation. However, no specific treatments have been established for HLH caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors.

CD4+ T-cell independent secondary immune responses to Pneumocystis pneumonia

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
Pneumocystis pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among immunocompromised patients, especially in the context of HIV/AIDS. In the murine model of Pneumocystis pneumonia, CD4+ T-cells are required for clearance of a primary infection of ...
