The Rate of Hepatitis B and C Virus Infections and the Importance of HBV Vaccination in Children with Acute lymphoblastic Leukemia
(2007)
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the rate of hepatitis B and C virus infection and emphasize the importance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination in leukemic children.
Methods: One hundred and sixty children ...
Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin in Combination with Lamivudine for Prevention of Hepatitis B Virus Reactivation in Children Undergoing Bone Marrow Transplantation
(WILEY, 2006)
Abstract: There is little information in literature about the use of hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIg) in recipients of bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Here, we report two children who received IV HBIg (Hepatect‐CP) and ...
An Unusual Case of Reactive Lymphocytosis Mimicking Acute Leukemia
(Taylor and Francis, 2007)
The diagnosis of acute leukemia is based on a combination of clinical, hematological, morphological, cytogenetic, and immunophenotypic data. The authors report a case of reactive lymphocytosis with extremely elevated ...
A Prompt Graft-Versus-Thalassemia Effect upon Withdrawal of CyclosporineA in A Child Who Received Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation
(Nature, 2006)
Stable mixed chimerism is a common event in children with thalassemia major who have undergone bone marrow transplantation (BMT). However, persistence of unstable mixed chimerism in these children is associated with a ...
Number of Erythrocyte Transfusions is more Predictive than Serum Ferritin in Estimation of Cardiac Iron Loading in Pediatric Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
(Elsevier, 2014)
Background
Transfusions with packed erythrocytes is a common practice in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who are on chemotherapy. Since there is no physiological excretion mechanism for iron, ...

(WILEY, 2014)
Abstract
CDA are a group of inherited, rare diseases that are characterized by dyserythropoiesis and ineffective erythropoiesis associated with transfusion dependency in approximately 10% of cases. For these latter patients, ...
Diamond–Blackfan Anemia Associated Withb-Thalassemia Trait

A 14-month-old boy was referred to our hospital for evaluation of severe anemia. In the bone marrow aspiration smear, normal cellularity with severe erythroblastopenia (3%) was observed. The hemoglobin electrophoresis of ...
An Automated Image Analysis System Can be Beneficial in Preclassification of Leucocytes in Children with Hematological Disease.
(WILEY, 2011)
This study was aimed to evaluate the analytical performance of an automated image analysis system (a pilot model of Diff Master™ Octavia) for the preclassification of leucocytes in children with hematological disease. ...
Cyclosporine Level at the Second Hour in Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients
(2011)
In this retrospective study, cyclosporine levels at the second hour (C2 levels) were measured during oral cyclosporine intake in 28 pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients, and the relations between cyclosporine ...
Dysplasia and Disorder of cell Membrane Entirety in Iron-Deficiency Anemia
(Taylor and Francis, 2008)
Peripheral blood smears of 43 patients (26 males, median age 18 months, range: 6-180 months) with nutritional iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) were examined for the presence of trilineage hematological dysplasia. Twelve patients ...
