108-110Diagnosis of the Combination of Immune Thrombocytopenia and Woodhouse-Sakati Syndrome

Abstract Woodhouse-Sakati Syndrome (WSS) is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by sensorineural hearing loss, ECG ST-T changes, partial alopecia, hypogonadism, diabetes, and moderate mental retardation. A 23-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of purpura and petechial rashes. His platelet count was 3.04 x 10 9 /L and the peripheral blood smear was compatible with this count. No atypical cell was observed. He had mild mental retardation. He had hearing loss since childhood. Physical examination showed widespread petechiae and purpura on bilateral lower extremities. Significant growth retardation was detected and male pattern hair growth was less. In genital examination, bilateral testicles were small; penis length was 1 cm and it was 4 cm when elongated. T negativity was present in precordial derivations of ECG. He was diagnosed Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and WSS according to these findings. In addition to ITP treatment with steroids, the combination of testosterone propionate and testosterone phenyl propionatewas also administered to him. Upon we observed that there was an increase in his platelet number, he was discharged from the hospital. WSS is a very rare disease. Different components of the syndrome have been reported in different patients.It is the first time in the literature that ITP is observedtogether with WSS in a male patient

The predictive effect of initial complete blood count of intensive care unit patients on mortality, length of hospitalization, and nosocomial infections

WOS: 000380260000006PubMed: 27160116OBJECTIVE: The mean platelet volume (MPV) can be used as an indicator of platelet activation. However, it has been shown that the platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) can provide useful predictive information about inflammation and aggregation pathways. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) may also be helpful as a marker of systemic or local inflammation. The main objective of this study evaluated to unselected critically ill patients the relationship of initial MPV, NLR, and PLR with mortality, length of hospitalization, and the risk of developing nosocomial infections in ICU patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, we evaluated consecutive patients at our tertiary nine-bed ICU. One hundred seventy-three patients who were followed up during a 1-year period were included. RESULTS: MPV levels were found to be higher in patients who died in the hospital (p = 0.05). In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between expected mortality rate and MPV among non-survivors (p = 0.009). NLR levels were higher among non-survivors, but this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.435). PLR levels were similar between non-survivors and survivors (p = 0.173). The initial NLR and PLR were significantly higher in patients with nosocomial infections. NLR and PLR had a significant positive correlation with length of hospitalization (p = 0.006 and p = 0.027, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In our study, we found that high PLR and NLR may be indicators for the development of nosocomial infections. Moreover, the length of hospitalization may be prolonged in patients with high PLR and NLR

Yoğun bakim ünitesindeki hastane enfeksiyonlu geriatrik ve non-geriatrik hastalarda, anemi ve eritrosit transfüzyonunun mortaliteye etkisi

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effects of anemia and red blood cell transfusion on the risk of mortality in geriatric and non-geriatric Intensive Care Unit patients with Hospital- Acquired Infection. Materials and Method: This study included 546 patients aged ?18 years, from these, 112 patients had Hospital-Acquired Infection. Results: Among the patients aged ?65 years with Hospital-Acquired Infection who were treated in the medical Intensive Care Unit, the risk of mortality was significantly increased in patients with anemia or history of diabetes, in patients who were intubated or in patients with neurological disorders or respiratory failure. Although the abovementioned factors increased the risk of mortality in the elderly, the same relationship was not observed in patients aged<65 years. In addition, blood transfusion did not increase the risk of mortality in patients belonging to both the age groups. Conclusion: We conclude that in geriatric Intensive Care Unit patients with Hospital-Acquired Infection, anemia increases the risk of mortality but red cell transfusion does not affect the risk of mortality. © 2015, Geriatrics Society.
