Infectious complications among patients receiving ibrutinib for the treatment of hematological malignancies
CONCLUSION: Serious infection and IFI rates are high but similar to those previously described. Risk factors for serious infection included allo-HSCT and corticosteroid use. Targeted antimicrobial prophylaxis should be evaluated in prospective studies in patients on ibrutinib to reduce serious infections and IFI.PMID:37675967 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxad210

Ileus induced by the combination of vinca alkaloids and posaconazole in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a case report and literature review
J Int Med Res. 2023 Aug;51(8):3000605231193823. doi: 10.1177/03000605231193823.ABSTRACTVinca alkaloid (VA)-induced ileus, a rare but severe autonomic neuropathy, can be enhanced by concomitant use of antifungal triazole agents. We herein present a case of VA-induced ileus in a 17-year-old girl who was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. On day 1, the patient received cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and methylprednisolone. On day 2, she began treatment with posaconazole oral suspension at 200 mg three times daily for prophylaxis against invasive fungal infection. On day 5, she began induction therapy consisti...

Invasive mucorales sinusitis in a young patient with Emberger syndrome and newly diagnosed AML: A case report and literature review of invasive fungal infections in GATA2 deficiency
In this report, we present the case of a 40-year-old man with Emberger syndrome (GATA2 mutation, recently diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia [AML] and history of lymphedema with hearing loss) who developed Mucorales sinusitis while receiving his first course of remission induction chemotherapy. Additionally, we review the literature on all published cases of proven IFIs in patients with GATA2 PVs. Clinicians should be aware that patients with GATA2 PVs could be vulnerable to opportunistic IFIs, even in the absence of AML and antineoplastic therapy. Furthermore, the distinctly unusual occurrence of mucormycosis during the fi...

Print 2023 Jul 2.ABSTRACTPatients with leukemia may occasionally suffer from rare opportunistic fungal infections with poor prognosis. Fungal infection caused by Geotrichum captitatum has not yet been described in Hungary. With this case report, we would like to draw attention to the fungal infection caused by G. capitatum. The 1.5-year-old girl with acute myeloid leukemia was treated for relapse diagnosed +120 days after a sibling donor bone marrow transplantation. High-grade, fluctuating fever began 11 days after the start of chemotherapy which did not...
