We have compared the clinical and laboratory features as well as treatment complications observed in 6 patients with iatrogenic acute myelogenous leukemia (I-AML) with those of 26 patients with ...idiopathic acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). I-AML patients were significantly younger and their disease appeared less virulent on admission than in the AML patients. Following identical chemotherapy, hemorrhagic complications and the need for platelet support were found to be similar for both groups. Major infections, including systemic candidiasis and Gram-negative septicemias, occurred 3 times more frequently among I-AML than AML patients. More marked suppression and delayed regeneration of the bone marrow also occurred in I-AML patients. These observations and other factors, such as post-splenectomy state and inherent immune deficiency among surgically staged lymphoma patients as well as radiation induced immunologic impairment, may have contributed to the increased propensity to develop infection observed in this group of patients. Five of the 6 I-AML and 17 of the 26 AML patients achieved remission. We attribute the satisfactory outcome in our I-AML patients to treatment in a protective environment and availability of facilities for hematologic supportive care.
Cytopheresis techniques have proven useful in the provision of platelets and granulocytes for transfusion to the pancytopenic patient. Mechanical cell removal has been applied to the treatment of ...chronic myelocytic and lymphocytic leukemias and the Sezary syndrome. We have treated a 16-year-old pregnant acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMML) patient for 12 weeks solely with the use of intensive leukopheresis utilizing batch processing centrifugation and packed red cell transfusions. The patient presented with a white blood cell count of 54,000/mm3 with 64% myelomonoblasts, a platelet count of 45,000/mm3, marked gingival hyperplasia, and splenomegaly. Patient had a normal spontaneous delivery of a 2.5-kg male infant without complications. At the time of delivery, 12 weeks later, the white blood count had fallen to 4,9000/mm3 with 8% blasts and the platelet count had risen to over 100,000/mm3. Gingival hyperplasia decreased and the patient felt well. We have treated an additional small group of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) with high white counts with short term intensive leukopheresis followed by chemotherapy with promising results.
HPLC isolated components of 99mTc(NaBH4)-DMAD mixtures exhibit significantly different biological properties than do analogous components of 99mTc(NaBH4)-MDP and 99mTc(NaBH4)-HEDP mixtures. Most ...importantly, 99mTc-DMAD components desorb from normal bone whereas analogous 99mTc-MDP and 99mTc-HEDP components do not. However, within an osteogenic rat model, an HPLC isolated 99mTc-DMAD component does not exhibit an unusually high abnormal/normal tibia uptake ratio.
