Rare Infectious Diseases: Detection and Clinical Implications

iLABMED, EarlyView.
Rare infectious diseases are infections that are uncommon, have a low incidence, and are caused by newly emerging pathogens, cross‐species or ectopic infections, or host immunodeficiencies. The detection and diagnosis of rare infections is one of the main reasons for misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

A case of idiosyncratic drug‐induced agranulocytosis because of sulbactam/ampicillin

Journal of General and Family Medicine, EarlyView.
We report a case of agranulocytosis caused by sulbactam/ampicillin. During antimicrobial therapy, close monitoring of total white blood cell counts is essential. Abstract Idiosyncratic drug‐induced agranulocytosis is a rare but life‐threatening condition that requires immediate medical intervention.

Infectious Morbidity During Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia Chemotherapy in a High‐Income Country: A 15‐Year Population‐Based Overview

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Infection causes significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (pAML). This study describes the incidence and risk factors of bloodstream infection (BSI) and invasive fungal infection (IFI) in pAML. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed of patients treated according to the ANLL‐97/AML‐12 (N =

Viral Pneumonia Screening on Chest X-ray Images Using Confidence-Aware Anomaly Detection [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Cluster of viral pneumonia occurrences during a short period of time may be a harbinger of an outbreak or pandemic, like SARS, MERS, and recent COVID-19. Rapid and accurate detection of viral pneumonia using chest X-ray can be significantly useful in large-scale screening and epidemic prevention, particularly when other chest imaging modalities are ...

Long‐term outcome after allogeneic stem cell transplantation for GATA2 deficiency: An analysis of 67 adults and children from France and Belgium

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
The overall survival of patients receiving an allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for GATA2 deficiency was significantly better if they were transplanted recently, with a bone marrow or cord blood graft and if the transplant was performed before the onset of excess blast. Excess blast before HSCT was the only factor associated with an
