Pulmonary tuberculosis presenting as fever without source in a pediatric patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

13 Dec 2009 Children who undergo treatment for malignancies are at high for infection with both typical and opportunistic pathogens. Fever in these children prompts extensive evaluation and empiric treatment with broad-spectrum antimicrobials. In the United ... Read more...

Long-term results of AIEOP LNH-92 protocol for the treatment of pediatric lymphoblastic lymphoma: a report of the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology.

29 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) is the second most frequent lymphoma subtype in childhood. It is commonly treated according to therapy strategies for lymphoblastic leukemia. METHODS: The AIEOP LNH-92 protocol was a modified LSA2-L2 therapy ... Read more...

Response to glucocorticoids and toxicity in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: role of polymorphisms of genes involved in glucocorticoid response.

29 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Glucocorticoids (GCs) play a fundamental role in the treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but therapy with these agents often results in a number of severe side effects. The aim of our study was to evaluate the ... Read more...
