Abstract
A total of 1372 lymphoma patients (980 newly diagnosed and 392 seen in cellular therapy clinic) were screened for Strongyloides serology, detecting IgG in 80 (6%) patients. Only one out of 80 (1.25%) patients diagnosed and treated with ivermectin for Strongyloides developed disseminated strongyloidiasis following chemotherapy treatments, supporting routine screening and prophylaxis in lymphoma patients.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Hematology offers extensive coverage of experimental and clinical aspects of blood diseases in humans and animal models. The journal publishes original contributions in both non-malignant and malignant hematological diseases, encompassing clinical and basic studies in areas such as hemostasis, thrombosis, immunology, blood banking, and stem cell biology. Clinical translational reports highlighting innovative therapeutic approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of hematological diseases are actively encouraged.The American Journal of Hematology features regular original laboratory and clinical research articles, brief research reports, critical reviews, images in hematology, as well as letters and correspondence.
