Hematologic disorders in rheumatic disease.

Abstract

The 1990 literature relating to hematologic disorders in rheumatic disease is reviewed. Two main subject areas of general interest are identified. The anemia of chronic disease has been reviewed and shown to be associated with a variety of medical conditions. Generalized reticuloendothelial hyperplasia associated with heavy-chain disease is a poorly recognized complication associated with rheumatoid arthritis and may be mistaken for underlying sepsis in these patients.

[Occurrence of the yeast and filamentous fungi in haematological patients during 2002 to August 2005].

BACKGROUND: The number of diseases caused by yeast and fungi has been increasing recently. The primary disease is caused by dermatophytes and Cryptococcus neoformans. Other types of yeast and fungi can cause secondary infections of patients with predisposition factors. Among the mycotic diseases diagnosed in our laboratory can be included candidosis, cryptococcosis, aspergillosis and mucormycosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: In haematological patients Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida krusei, Candida tropicalis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are the most frequently diagnosed. CONCLUSIONS: Together with the increased number of examined samples, the rising number of strains resistant to azole antimycotics can be observed.
