Objective: To evaluate the association between the expanded lymphoid profile and inborn errors of immunity using flow cytometry.
Methods: Observational and cross-sectional, case-control study, carried out in patients with a diagnosis or clinical suspicion of inborn errors of immunity, treated at the Santísima Trinidad Children's Hospital in Córdoba, Argentina, from August 2021 to November 2022. Clinical data were collected, and peripheral blood samples were obtained for flow cytometry analysis, using the PIDOT tube, to identify lymphocyte subpopulations.
Article Synopsis
- Latex allergy (NRLA) is a significant global health issue, particularly affecting children, with symptoms ranging from mild irritation to severe anaphylactic reactions.
- Latex is sourced from the Hevea Brasiliensis tree, and despite safety measures, NRLA remains common, especially in vulnerable groups like children with spina bifida.
- Effective diagnosis involves medical history and tests, while prevention mainly focuses on minimizing exposure, and treatment options like immunotherapy show mixed results, impacting the quality of life for affected children.
Background: Determining the risk of grade 3-5 toxicity and early death (ED) is important to plan chemotherapy in older adult patients with cancer. Our objective was to identify factors predicting these complications at the time of treatment initiation.
Methods: 234 patients aged ≥70 were subjected to a geriatric assessment and variables related to the tumor and the treatment were also collected.
