  16. 1st HOSPITAL DAY

  17. 1st HOSPITAL DAY • Tranfused 2 unit of PRBC & 4 units of platelet concentrate

  18. 2nd HOSPITAL DAY • Bone Marrow Aspiration Biopsy : • myeloblastosis with minimal maturation with predominantly dysplastic and megaloblastic erythroid

  19. 2nd HOSPITAL DAY • Bone Marrow Aspiration Biopsy : • The rest of the hematopoetic cells shows unremarkable morphology: • lymp (5,18%) , mono(0.52%) , plasma cells (0.52%), macrophages (1.55%) and megakaryocytes (0.0%) • Histopathological Diagnosis : • ACUTE MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA

  20. 4TH HOSPITAL DAY • (+) non-productive cough • (+) low grade fever • decreased breath sounds, RLF • Chest x-ray: • Pleural effusion (R) • R/O concomitant pneumonia • Cardiomegaly • Levofloxacin 500 mg OD • 2 u pRBC & 2 u platelet concentrate

  21. FEVER PATTERN Levofloxacin

  22. 6th HOSPITAL DAY Acute Myelogenous Leukemia Chemotherapy started: • Idarubicin 15 mg IV every 24 hrs x 3 d (12mg/m2 x 1.5) • Cytarabine 150mg IV every 12 hrs x 7 d (100mg/m2 x 1.5)

  23. Serial CBC monitoring

  25. Serial CBC monitoring

  26. 18TH HOSPITAL DAY • (+ low-grade fever (Tmax 37.8 C) • (+) oral ulcers with mucositis • D/C Levofloxacin • Started on Piperacillin-tazobactam • 4.5 gm IV q8h

  27. 23th HOSPITAL DAY Post Chemotherapy Bone Marrow Biopsy Histopathological Diagnosis : • Findings consistent with Post Chemotherapy • No evidence of malignancy

  28. 31st HOSPITAL DAY • (+)febrile episodes, T max – 38.5 C • (+)occasional productive cough • harsh breath sounds •  Blood cs done • D/C Pip tazo • Started on • Cefepime 2 g IV q 12h

  29. FEVER PATTERN Levofloxacin Pip-Tazo Cefepime

  30. 33RD HOSPITAL DAY • afebrile, (+) persistent cough • harsh breath sounds • - CXR :RUL pneumonia • Blood CS – 1 out of 2 cultures • (+) for oxacillin resistant, • coagulase negative staphylococci • Sensitive to Vancomycin and Linezolid • Cefepime continued Day # 2 • Vancomycin 1gm IVq 12h

  31. 35TH HOSPITAL DAY • afebrile • (+)persistence of cough • (+)chest pain, right sided, pleuritic • Chest CT scan was also requested • D/C Vanco,Cefepime, • Diflucan & acyclovir • Moxifloxacin 400 mg tab, 1 tab OD

  32. FEVER PATTERN Cefepime Moxifloxacin Vancomycin

  33. CHEST CT SCAN RESULT • 2.8 x 2.4 cm. lobulated soft tissue mass density, superior segment of the right lower lobe with ground glass haziness, nodular infiltrates, and air space consolidation with air bronchogram. • Infectious vs. pulmonary new growth • Aspergilloma (fungus-ball), superior segment of the right lower lobe

  34. 38TH HOSPITAL DAY • CT - GUIDED LUNG BIOPSY • Smears show ciliated respiratory epithelial cells mixed with abundant inflammatory cells composed of lymphocytes, polymorphonuclears and macrophages.The cellblock shows numerous fungal spores & hyphae mixed with inflammatory cells. • Diagnosis: Cytomorphologic features consistent with a FUNGAL INFECTION

  35. 38th HOSPITAL DAY CHEST X RAY No evidence of pneumothorax Patient was discharged pending CT guided lung aspirate culture results THM: Moxifloxacin 400 mg OD x 3 more days

  38. FOLLOW UP CT SCAN

  39. Blood Transfusion Summary

  40. Blood Transfusion Summary

  41. DISCUSSION

  42. Immunocompromised Host • DEFINITION These patients are defined by their susceptibility to infection with organisms of low native virulence for the immunologically normal hosts.

  43. Immunocompromised Host Spectrum of immunocompromised hosts has expanded with prolonged survival of • solid organ and hematopoietic transplant recipients • congenital immune deficits and autoimmune disorders • epidemic of human immunodeficiency syndrome/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS).

  44. Immunocompromised Host • RISK FACTOR: Immunosuppressive therapies create a diverse set of immune deficits that create the substrate for opportunistic infections.
