Increase of natural killer cells in children with liver transplantation-acquired food allergy.
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms that liver-transplant children treated with tacrolimus alone have a higher risk of developing TAFA than kidney-transplant children treated with tacrolimus plus mycophenolate. NK cells might be involved in this difference. PMID: 29456038 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Management of tacrolimus‐associated food allergy after liver transplantation
This report describes a case of tacrolimus‐associated food allergy after pediatric living‐donor LT. The patient was a 7‐year‐old Japanese girl who had undergone living‐donor LT at 12 months of age, and whom we first saw in the clinic at age 18 months. She received immunosuppressive therapy by tacrolimus after transplantation. Atopic dermatitis developed in post‐transplant month 18. Stridor, facial edema, lip swelling, and skin erythema after consuming tempura udon containing wheat occurred in post‐transplant month 39, and she was subsequently diagnosed with anaphylactic shock. Eosinophilic leukocyte and s...

Fever and confusion in a returning soldier
A 36–year–old army engineer returned from a 6–week deployment in Afghanistan. He had complained of upper respiratory tract infection even before his travel. On return he was found to be increasingly sleepy and later developed unsteadiness, slurred speech and confusion. His initial blood tests were normal, with CSF and MRI suggesting signs of encephalitis. He continued to deteriorate, requiring intubation and ventilation. Several bacterial, viral, protozoal and fungal tests were negative. He developed pancytopenia requiring frequent packed red cell and platelet transfusions. Spleen was found to be marginal...
