RESUMEN

Post-transfusion hepatitis (PTH) is a major problem in patients with acute leukemias requiring blood products during induction or consolidation therapy. In fact, PTH causes delays of chemotherapy with major violations in the timing of protocols. In order to assess the efficacy and safety of a short course of alpha-interferon (alpha-IFN) in inducing early remission of PTH, we treated seven patients who developed acute hepatitis during a post-remissional phase of AML. Patients received 3 MU of alpha-IFN i.m. three times weekly for one month. One patient stopped alpha-IFN at 2 weeks because of severe itching, after ALT normalization. Five out of 6 subjects normalized ALT within a mean time of two weeks. Minor side effects were observed in 2 cases. Three patients relapsed within eight weeks after stopping alpha-IFN. They underwent a second remission upon treatment with the same schedule. All patients continued their treatment protocol for AML without delay.

RESUMEN

We report a case of intrathoracic blast crisis in a patient affected by chronic granulocytic leukemia. Two-dimensional echocardiography performed to exclude pericardial effusion showed tumor masses in area of the atrioventricular groove and by the side of the left ventricular wall, which were confirmed by computed tomography.
