  1. 11. Cytomegalovirus after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation : complications in the era of CMV-specific antiviral treatment

    Författare :Kajsa Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation; cytomegalovirus; preemptive treatment;

    Sammanfattning : Since the start of treatment with allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT), cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been one of the most feared complications. With the help of different CMV-protective strategies, the frequency of CMV-disease before day 100 after SCT has decreased to 4-6%. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Viral infections in immunosuppressed patients with hematological malignancies

    Författare :Igge Gustafsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Acute or reactivated viral infections are common in patients who are immunosuppressed because of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or chemotherapy due to hematological malignancies. The severity of the immunosuppression, the type of immune functions that are affected by various therapeutic interventions, as well as underlying hematological malignancy contributes to viral susceptibility and clinical outcome of the infection.

  4. 13. Neutropenic fever during treatment of hematological malignancy : etiology and diagnostics

    Författare :Lennart Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Fever is the principal and sometimes the only manifestation of serious infection in the neutropenic patient because signs of inflammation may be minimal or absent in this group of patients. The aim of this thesis was to improve the clinical management of the febrile neutropenic patient. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Pure red cell aplasia in Swedish children : clinical features, epidemiological and etiological aspects of transient erythroblastopenia of childhood and Diamond-Blackfan anemia

    Författare :Gunnar Skeppner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Anemia due to impaired erythropoiesis is a rare condition that is more common in children than in adults. Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is the term used to denote anemia due to failure of the bone marrow that affects only the erythropoietic cell line. PRCA exists in two forms only presented in children.

  7. 15. Alphaherpesvirus infections of the central nervous system – Biomarkers, diagnostics and antiviral therapy

    Författare :Johan Lindström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; herpesviruses; central nervous system; facial paralysis; cerebrospinal fluid; biomarkers; acyclovir; neurotoxicity; syndromic testing;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Herpesviruses predate the evolution of humans and are globally ubiquitous. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) establish latency in neuronal tissue and may cause infections in the central nervous system (CNS).
