Sweet's syndrome and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia: two sequelae of low-dose cytosine arabinoside therapy in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia.

Cytosine arabinoside in low dose is sometimes employed for treating acute myeloid leukaemia. We report here a case of acute myeloid leukemia, treated with low-dose cytosine arabinoside, who developed acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia after attainment of remission. A direct effect of cytosine arabinoside on neutrophil function and an immunosuppressive potential in lower doses could be speculated.

Pyogenic meningitis: sonographic evaluation.

Forty infants with proven pyogenic meningitis were evaluated by real time cranial sonography. A spectrum of sonographic abnormalities was observed which included echogenic sulci, focal or diffuse increase in parenchymal echoes, ventriculitis, ventriculomegaly with or without aqueductal block, subdural collection, parenchymal infarcts, abscess and subdural empyema. There were two infants with normal sonogram while encephalomalacia was seen in another two patients. An excellent correlation was observed between clinical profile, cerebrospinal fluid biochemistry and sonographic findings.
