    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im Hinblick auf eine Senkung der Frühtodesrate durch Infektionen wurde in einer vergleichenden Studie der Wert einer selektiven Darmdekontamination (SDD) bei der zytostatischen Behandlung von Patienten mit akuter Leukämie untersucht. Es wurden drei Gruppen gebildet: 1) SDD (Neomycin, Colistin, Nystatin) bei einfacher Umkehrisolation auf der Normalstation; 2) keine SDD, aber einfache Umkehrisolation auf der Normalstation; 3) strikte Isolation, gefilterte Luft, sterilisierte Nahrung plus SDD. Es fanden sich graduell zwischen den drei Gruppen signifikant weniger Infektionen mit Gramnegativen Keimen: Isolierstation plus SDD versus Normalstation plus SDD versus Normalstation ohne SDD. Die Frühtodesrate durch Infektionen war in der Gruppe mit SDD auf der Normalstation signifikant geringer als in der Gruppe ohne SDD, umgekehrt die Remissionsrate nach zytostatischer Behandlung signifikant höher. Die Dekontamination wurde gut vertragen.
    Notes: Summary A comparative study of infectious morbidity and mortality in neutropenic patients with acute leukemia receiving chemotherapy was undertaken to test the effects of a suppression of endogenous and ambient microorganisms. Patients were allocated to receive [1] oral antibiotics (neomycin, colistin, and nystatin) in conventional ward isolation; [2] no antimicrobial suppression but conventional ward isolation; [3] strict isolation, filtered air, sterilized food and oral antibiotics. Significantly fewer infections with Gram-negative bacilli were seen in patients with strict isolation plus endogenous microbial suppression versus patients receiving selective gut decontamination versus patients without nonabsorbable antibiotics in simple reverse isolation. The death rate from infection was significantly reduced in patients who received antibiotics for gut flora suppression in conventional ward isolation compared with the corresponding control group. In addition, a significant improvement of leukemic remission rate was seen in this group. The protocol for decontamination was well tolerated.

    Notes: Summary In a multicenter analysis, the effect of low-dose cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) (10 mg/m2 q 12 h subcutaneously for a minimum of 15 days) has been assessed in 13 patients with acute leukemia (10 myeloid -AML-, 3 lymphocytic -ALL-) and 7 patients with dysmyelopoietic syndromes (DMPS), conditions classified as refractory anemia with an excess of blasts (RAEB). Seven patients suffering from acute leukemia and 1 with DMPS in blastic transformation displayed a leukocytosis of more than 10×109/1. Three out of 7 DMPS, 1 out of 10 AML achieved a complete remission, 1 out of 3 ALL-patients reached a partial remission twice. Seven patients showed a blast clearing in the bone marrow and peripheral blood, in another 7 instances examination of the bone marrow was not performed after therapy because of early death. The majority of patients were in their late phase of disease and refractory to conventional chemotherapy. Only 5 patients had no pretreatment at first presentation before low-dose Ara-C was initiated. At least for the DMPS-group, this therapeutic approach seems to be of some benefit.

    Notes: Summary A patient with acute myelomonocytic leukemia who experienced a spontaneous remission, is reported. He had precedent and concurrent bacterial infections as most of these cases described. Low peripheral WBC and myeloblasts, Auer-rod positive blasts, bone marrow eosinophilia with atypical eosinophils, and a partial deletion of chromosome 16 were favorable prognostic parameters. A brief review of the literature and possible explanations for the regulation of granulopoiesis are presented.
