This woman in her 30s fully met criteria for all six \"Kansas criteria\" symptom domains required for diagnosing mixed toxicant illness in Gulf War veterans: fatigue/sleep, neurological/cognitive/mood, pain, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and dermatologic. (Kansas symptom criteria require qualifying symptoms, of at least moderate severity and/or multiple, in at least three domains; she met criteria for all six.) She additionally had a highly distinctive problem - new post-derailment breakage and loss of teeth (culminating in removal of all teeth within the year) that was previously reported by a number of Gulf War veterans. We propose that since most chemicals' toxicity includes mitochondrial mechanisms (severity of which relates to GWI severity), this toxic mechanism may add/synergize across chemicals for many chemical mixes, producing a shared chronic health profile. Conformity of persistent health problems in this woman to the signature illness affecting Gulf War veterans suggests that knowledge from one mixed chemical exposure may be ported to others, allowing science to advance - and enabling prophylaxis and treatment measures to be developed.</p>","PeriodicalId":72213,"journal":{"name":"Annals of case reports","volume":"9 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12199793/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144509788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deferoxamine (DFO) is an iron-chelating agent that has been used systemically to treat iron overload conditions and more recently been studied to treat radiation fibrosis. Through iron chelation, DFO stabilizes hypoxia inducible factor-1α, driving downstream upregulation of angiogenic factors, and reduces formation of reactive oxygen species, thereby offering a potential therapy for radiation associated chronic wounds. The purpose of this work was to describe treatment of a refractory wound following radiation treatment that had failed conventional therapy.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The patient is a 71-year-old female with inflammatory breast cancer that developed a radiation related wound after mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The wound did not show any signs of improvement with five months of wound care and risk factor modification. The patient was offered treatment with a topical Deferoxamine Intradermal Delivery Patch through the FDA single patient investigative new drug pathway.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>After two weeks of treatment, the wound healed. Additionally, serum was collected at cessation of therapy and 5 weeks after, with both samples showing no significant systemically detectible level of the drug to be present. Subjectively the patient reported improvement in appearance and quality of the skin.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Topical deferoxamine is a promising therapy for radiation wounds.
