Myelodysplastic syndrome with t(9;22)(p24;q11.2), a BCR-JAK2 fusion: case report and review of the literature
WOS: 000360939400019PubMed ID: 25833723The human JAK2 gene is mainly targeted by two types of genetic lesions that play roles in the pathogenesis of hematologic malignancies: intragenic mutations and chromosomal translocations. Chromosomal translocations of JAK2 are typically associated with myeloid or lymphoid malignancies with an aggressive course and poor outcome. Here we report a t(9;22)(p24;q11.2) translocation, in a MDS patient and review results associated with BCR-JAK2 fusion reported in the literature
Aplastic Anemia Associated with Oral Terbinafine: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Onychomycosis (OM) is a common fungal infection of the toenails and/or fingernails that is highly prevalent in the general population and also responsible for significant morbidity. OM is caused by dermatophytes, nondermatophytic molds, or yeast. Today systemic antifungal agents are considered as the gold standard for all types of OM. Here we report a case of aplastic anemia associated with oral terbinafine use and a review of the literature on hematological toxicities associated with terbinafine
