Department of Hematology, Tongde Hospital of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou, P.R. China.
Rationale: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) bloodstream infections are a severe complication resulting from granulocyte deficiency following chemotherapy for hematologic malignancies and have a high mortality rate. However, reports of disseminated organ infections secondary to bloodstream infections are rare.
Patient Concerns And Diagnoses: We report 2 cases of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who both developed CRKP bloodstream infections during the granulocyte deficiency stage following chemotherapy, with 1 case of secondary bacterial liver abscess and 1 case of secondary septic arthritis.
Clinical practice guidelines for management of disseminated intravascular coagulation in Japan 2024. Part 3: solid cancers and vascular abnormalities.

This study discusses disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) associated with solid cancers and various vascular abnormalities, both of which generally exhibit chronic DIC patterns. Solid cancers are among the most significant underlying diseases that induce DIC. However, the severity, bleeding tendency, and progression of DIC vary considerably depending on the type and stage of the cancer, making generalization difficult.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpura fulminans (PF) is a rare but devastating complication of sepsis characterized by a highly thrombotic subtype of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). A medical emergency, PF cases often require the involvement of consultant hematologists to assist with diagnosis and management of patients who are in a highly dynamic and deteriorating clinical situation. Patients who survive past the first 24 to 72 hours often die from complications of unchecked thrombosis rather than from shock, and survivors are usually left with severe scarring and tissue loss.

In this study, we aimed to test the hypothesis that intravenous amino acids could improve 90-day mortality in critically ill patients with normal kidney function.
Design: This is a multicentre, open-label, randomised, parallel-controlled trial.
