Warfarin-induced Eosinophilia in a Child with urkitt Lymphoma: A Case Report.

An important complication of chemotherapy is thromboembolic events that can occur during treatment course. In this way, Warfarin can be used as an efficient prophylactic agent to prevent these complications. Although bleeding is a common adverse effect of Warfarin, eosinophilia is a rare side effect of this drug.

The immunophenotype of bone marrow lymphocytes in children with immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

Purpose: Primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), caused by immune system dysfunction, is recognized as the leading cause of thrombocytopenia in pediatric population. Nonetheless, inadequate studies have been performed on bone marrow immunophenotyping of children with ITP. In this study, we aimed to investigate the immunophenotype of bone marrow lymphocytes in these children.

Primary intrarenal neuroblastoma with hypertension and disseminated intravascular coagulation.

The primary intrarenal neuroblastoma (IRNB) is a rare condition. Intrarenal neuroblastoma typically results from direct renal invasion from an adrenal neuroblastoma, but true intrarenal neuroblastoma originates either sequestered adrenal rests during the fetal life or intrarenal sympathetic ganglia. Clinical, radiological, and pathological correlation is very essential for diagnosis and appropriate management of this type of unusual cases.

Efficacy and safety of deferasirox in β-thalassemia major patients in Iran: a prospective study from a single referral center in Iran.

Introduction: Herein, the results of a prospective study evaluating the efficacy and safety of treatment with deferasirox are studied in iron-overloaded patients with β-thalassemia major during an 18-month trial.

Methods: Thirty patients who were previously chelated with deferoxamine with/without deferiprone, and fulfilled the inclusion criteria were recruited. Patients received an initial dose of 10-30 mg/kg/day.

Concurrent adrenal neuroblastoma and kawasaki disease: a report of a rare case.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology and a leading cause of acquired heart disease. It is assumed that there is an activation of the immune system by an infectious trigger in a genetically susceptible host. Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in young children.

Antigen-specific antibody response in juvenile-onset SLE patients following routine immunization with tetanus toxoid.

Background: Infection is now the most common cause of morbidity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). There is lack of information regarding the specific antibody formation in response to vaccines in young SLE patients.

Objective: To determine the efficacy of anti-tetanus antibody response in young patients with SLE.
