A Review of Published Cases Regarding the Amphotericin B Deoxycholate Overdose in the Pediatric Population and a Case Report.

Considering the fact that two available and commonly used formulations of amphotericin B could be used instead of each other by mistake. Also, an updated and comprehensive data regarding management of this medication error was not available; the current review was conducted to gather available data among the pediatric population and discuss management and outcome of patients in case such an error occurs. We review all the cases of amphotericin B overdose which reported in PubMed and google scholar so far then discuss an 8-years-old girl diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma who inadvertently received five times more than therapeutic dose of amphotericin B deoxycholate (5mg/kg/day).

Neutropenia and leukemia development: genetic risk factors and prognosis.

Neutropenia is known as a clinical consequence in various genetic disorders and other neutropenia-inducing mutations (NIM) nonmalignant diseases. Leukemia development is now a major concern about the mortality of patients with congenital neutropenia. We searched the PubMed database and Google Scholar engine using English-language article (1980-2019) using the terms 'Neutropenia,' 'Leukemia,' 'Mutation,' and 'Polymorphism.

Is There a Relationship Between CXCR4 Gene Expression and Prognosis of Immune Thrombocytopenia in Children?

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a common autoimmune disorder characterized by decreased platelet count (thrombocytopenia) and bleeding symptoms due to production of autoantibodies against platelets. Chemokines are molecules inducing chemotaxis and play an important role in megakaryopoiesis, including CXCR4 chemokine receptor. CXCR4 is expressed on cells of megakaryocytic series, especially platelets, and triggers several mechanisms in these cells.

Childhood physical abnormalities following paternal exposure to sulfur mustard gas in Iran: a case-control study.

Background: Mustard gas, a known chemical weapon, was used during the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-1988. We aimed to determine if exposure to mustard gas among men was significantly associated with abnormalities and disorders among progenies.

Methods: Using a case-control design, we identified all progenies of Sardasht men (exposed group, n = 498), who were born at least nine months after the exposure, compared to age-matched controls in Rabat, a nearby city (non-exposed group, n = 689).
