[Bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in leukemia patients].

Among 180 patients with varying leukemias bronchopulmonary aspergillosis was diagnosed in 4 (2.2%). Further development of the methods for the treatment of the main disease in this category of patients permits prognosing a significant rise in the incidence of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.

[Periodontal diseases in iron-deficiency states].

Dentists should be on the alert when treating periodontal diseases in risk-group subjects. A manifest gingival inflammation along with other signs of iron-deficiency state, coupled with no effect of stomatological treatment, give grounds to recommend these patients to consult a hematologist.

[Present-day course of vitamin B 12 deficiency anemia].

By recent data, B12-deficiency anemia occurs in 14% of overall anemia cases. It arises mostly from gastrointestinal lesions, atrophic gastritis being the main etiological factor. Common clinical signs of the disease (glossitis, nervous disturbances, hemolysis) manifest in only 10-23% of the patients, hematological evidence of pancytopenia is registered in about half of the cases.

[Hemosorption in the intensive therapy of agranulocytosis].

The authors describe a case of successful treatment of medicamentous agranulocytosis (induced by mercasolyl) using hemoperfusion, an extracorporeal method for the treatment of intoxications. In the severe total intoxication syndrome, application of hemoperfusion in multimodality therapy of myelotoxic agranulocytosis improves the disease prognosis.
