Published 1997Staff ViewISSN: 1433-0415Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Bei Immunsuppression infolge zytostatischer Behandlung ist Fieber häufig das einzige Zeichen einer beginnenden schweren und mitunter lebensbedrohlichen Infektion. Empirisch wird daher wenige Stunden nach Fieberbeginn mit einer i. v.-antibiotischen Breitspektrumtherapie in Form einer Monotherapie oder Kombinationstherapie begonnen [12, 19]. Durch die Therapie mit einem β-Laktam-Antibiotikum allein oder in Kombination mit einem Glykopeptidantibiotikum oder einem Aminoglycosidantibiotikum konnte bei erwachsenen Patienten eine hohe Wirksamkeit in der Behandlung der febrilen Neutropenie belegt werden [8, 10, 18]. Umfangreiche klinische Studien zur Wirksamkeit gleichartiger Therapieschemata in der pädiatrischen Onkologie sind selten. In einer Multizenterstudie wurde geprüft, ob eine Kombinationstherapie mit Ceftazidim und Teicoplanin als Initialtherapie einer antibiotischen Sequentialtherapie bei Kindern und Jugendlichen mit febriler Neutropenie effektiv ist.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Procalcitonin (PCT) proven to be a sensitive inflammatory marker in nonneutropenic patients was evaluated for its diagnostic relevance in febrile episodes of neutropenic patients with cancer.¶Methods: Plasma levels of PCT were determined by an immunoluminometric assay in children with febrile neutropenic episodes (n = 376) starting at the date of admission until the resolution of fever and were correlated with serum levels of the C-reactive protein (CrP). Febrile episodes were classified as fever of unknown origin (FUO), microbiologically or clinically documented infections and were also differentiated according to the site of the infection (unknown, bacteremia, respiratory, soft tissue, gastrointestinal and urinary tract infection).¶Results: Independently from the aetiology and the site of infection the PCT peak value occurred mostly on the second hospital day and decreased rapidly in cases of successful antibiotic therapy and with the resolution of fever to the normal range (0.1–0.5 μg/l). The highest PCT peak levels at the onset of fever and during the febrile course were observed in patients with gramnegative bacteremia (n = 22, median 12.1 μg/l, range 0.4–568.2 μg/l). There was a positive correlation between PCT peak levels and CrP peak levels (r = 0.48, p = 0.001) which mostly were observed 24 h later than for PCT.¶Conclusions: PCT is a sensitive and specific parameter in the diagnostic and in the sequential assessment of febrile neutropenic episodes, especially in gramnegative infections. Its diagnostic accuracy in neutropenic patients is clearly higher than that of CrP.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1998Staff ViewISSN: 1435-702XSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract · Background: The 2.5-year outcome of a 3-year-old girl with a primary intraconjunctival rhabdomyosarcoma treated by biopsy-controlled combined chemo- and brachytherapy is reported. · Methods: The patient presented with a conjunctival dermoid-like lesion which showed modest growth on 1-month follow-up. The first biopsy appointment was missed because of a viral illness. When she showed up 3 months later a further increase in size was obvious and several incisional biopsies were taken immediately. · Results: Light microscopy revealed an undifferentiated subepithelial small cell tumour. On immunohistochemistry the tumour reacted with vimentin and desmin antibodies. Thus, the diagnosis of an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma was made. The patient underwent 9 cycles of polychemotherapy and the tumour mass disappeared macroscopically. However, immunohistochemistry of incisional biopsies showed residual tumour cells. The latter were eradicated by an individually shaped strontium-90 applicator. · Conclusion: At 2.5 years after biopsy-controlled combined chemotherapy and brachytherapy the patient is free of tumour at a manageable level of complications. This new approach appears to be a good alternative in the treatment of primary conjunctival rhabdomyosarcomas since it takes advantage of the unique location of this rare tumour and avoids hemifacial retardation, known to be induced by external beam radiation.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
