Comparison of Biosimilar Filgrastim with Innovator Fligrastim for Peripheral Blood Stem Cells Mobilization, Collection of CD34+ Stem Cells, and Engraftment in Patients Undergoing Autologous and Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Single-Center Experience.

BACKGROUND In the Middle East, there is lack of data on peripheral blood CD34+stem cells mobilization by using biosimilar filgrastim. We have been using both Neupogen and a biosimilar G-CSF) Zarzio® (as a mobilizing agent since February 2014 for both allogenic and autologous stem cell transplantations. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a single-center retrospective study.

Dapsone-induced Methemoglobinemia Case Report.

Methemoglobinemia is a rare disorder associated with an elevated methemoglobin level that occurs when hemoglobin is in the oxidized ferric ion form rather than reduced ferrous form. In patients with methemoglobinemia, the hemoglobin with oxidized ferric form cannot release oxygen to the tissues which leads to hypoxemia. Methemoglobinemia can be acquired or inherited.
