&NA; A 6‐year‐old girl had fever, abdominal pain, and severe anicteric hepatitis during intravenous oxacillin therapy for staphylococcal osteomyelitis. She had greatly elevated liver enzymes, prolonged prothrombin time, leukopenia, and eosinophilia. Clinical symptoms resolved and laboratory data returned to normal after withdrawing oxacillin and substituting cefazolin. This hepatotoxicity appears to…
&NA; Spontaneous remissions in B‐cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B‐CLL) are rare and none of them has been studied with immunophenotyping (by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry) and genotyping. In this patient, studied after spontaneous remission had occurred, there was a residual T‐lymphocytic hyperplasia in the bone marrow with a normal CD4:CD8…
&NA; Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a rare cause of community‐acquired infection. The source of this organism has usually been inapparent or environmental (ie, contaminated humidifiers). We documented transmission of P aeruginosa leading to cavitary pneumonia and lung abscess from daughter to mother and confirmed the clonal identity of our two patients'…
&NA; The range of imported fire ants now includes most of the southeastern United States, parts of the Southwest, portions of the East and West Coasts, and Puerto Rico. Increasingly, fire ant attacks on patients in health care facilities have been reported. In this paper, we provide recommendations for fire…
Background. The objective of this study was to evaluate a portable clinical analyzer (PCA) in the pediatric emergency department (ED), examining (1) turnaround time, (2) cost, and (3) sample amounts for PCA versus standard laboratory.
&NA; Low back pain is a common, recurrent affliction in the general population. Research has indicated that, contrary to traditional beliefs, bed rest is not an effective therapy. Existing evidence supports the use of early activity and exercise in treatment of acute and chronic low back pain. Since the sports…
