flucytosine and Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute

flucytosine has been researched along with Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute in 22 studies

Flucytosine: A fluorinated cytosine analog that is used as an antifungal agent.
flucytosine : An organofluorine compound that is cytosine that is substituted at position 5 by a fluorine. A prodrug for the antifungal 5-fluorouracil, it is used for the treatment of systemic fungal infections.

Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute: Clonal expansion of myeloid blasts in bone marrow, blood, and other tissue. Myeloid leukemias develop from changes in cells that normally produce NEUTROPHILS; BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and MONOCYTES.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Due to an increasing number of leukemic patients with invasive gingival aspergillosis during neutropenia (neutrophils <500 cells/microl for >10 days), we evaluated the efficacy of oral itraconazole prophylaxis for preventing this invasive infection at our hospital."7.71Itraconazole prophylaxis for invasive gingival aspergillosis in neutropenic patients with acute leukemia. ( Fujihara, M; Kyo, T; Mikami, Y; Myoken, Y; Sugata, T, 2002)

( Fujihara, M; Kyo, T; Mikami, Y; Myoken, Y; Sugata, T, 2002)

( Dix, S; Falconer, DJ; Geller, R; Gilmore, C; Nolte, FS; Parkinson, T; Williams, J; Wingard, JR, 1997)
"In an attempt to decrease the risk for reactivation of life-threatening invasive aspergillosis (IA) during subsequent myelosuppression in patients with previously diagnosed IA who were receiving antileukemic treatment, we evaluated the role of intensive antifungal therapy with amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine administered prophylactically throughout the antileukemic regimen and induced granulocytopenia to prevent IA reactivation without compromising the intensive chemotherapy."3.67An approach to intensive antileukemia therapy in patients with previous invasive aspergillosis. ( Burch, PA; Karp, JE; Merz, WG, 1988)

( Ichikawa, M; Kaneda, M; Kobayashi, R; Nakagawa, A; Sato, T; Suzuki, D, 2008)
"Hepatic candidiasis has been increasingly recognized as a variant of disseminated candidiasis in immunocompromised patients."1.27Hepatic candidiasis: an increasing problem in immunocompromised patients. ( Feld, R; Haron, E; Hasselback, R; Matlow, A; Patterson, B; Tuffnell, P, 1987)
