Twenty five febrile neutropenic episodes consecutive to chemotherapy for acute leukemia were studied. Patients received either etoposide and mitoxantrone or citarabine--in standard, intermediate or high doses--combined with daunomicin or mitoxantrone. Microbiologic data analysis showed an increased incidence of bacteremia with combined anthracycline and intermediate or high dose citarabine administration, when compared to etoposide and mitoxantrone use (p = 0.000387). Both groups developed similarly fast and severe neutropenias and equivalent grades of digestive mucositis. Chemotherapy schedule was the only factor associated with a consecutive bacteremia--or not--during the subsequent neutropenic episode. We conclude that effects other than bone marrow aplasia and digestive mucositis may be relevant in infectious susceptibility induced by cytostatic drugs.

ObjetivosAnalizar retrospectivamente los casos de SHF asistidos durante los ultimos 8 anos en el Hospital deClinicas, para evaluar factores pronosticos y terapeuticos. Material y metodos Se incluyeron 16 pacientes con SHF primario (n=1) o secundario (n=15). Segun la causa se dividio a los pacientes con SHF secundario en 4 categorias: linfoma, infeccion, combinada o indeterminada. Todos recibieron tratamiento de la causa subyacente, asi como dexametasona sola o combinada con etoposido. ResultadosLas manifestaciones clinicas de nuestros pacientes con SHF secundario y primario no difirieron de lo descripto en la literatura. El 93,75% (n=15) presento hemofagocitosis en aspirado o biopsia de medula osea. La enfermedad subyacente fue un l...

Se presentan imagenes de celulas tumorales circulantes en sangre periferica de una paciente de 61 anos con diagnostico de carcinoma papilar de tiroides metastasico. EnglishPatients with solid tumors, especially breast, lung or colorectal cancer, may show neoplastic cells in peripheral blood. Circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood in a 61 years old woman with a metastatic thyroid papillary cancer are shown.
