| [strongyloides stercoralis in t-cell leukemia/lymphoma in adults and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome]. | the mechanisms of chronic infestation by strongyloides stercoralis (ss) are unknown. immunodepression is classically evoked to explain the proliferation of the parasite that is sometimes massive and overwhelming. we present here two retrospective studies of 13 cases of strongyloidiasis (three disseminated strongyloidiasis) out of 26 patients with adult t-cell leukemia/lymphoma (atl) and of ten cases of strongyloidiasis out of 98 patients with aids. ten patients out of 98 were dually infected wit ... | 1996 | 8787083 |
| [prevalence of intestinal parasitism in the public laboratories of martinique: development from 1988 to 1995]. | this survey drew up the epidemiological situation of intestinal parasitism in martinique in 1994-1995. 13,978 stool specimens collected in 1994-1995 were tested by parasitologic examination. stool specimens were from patients hospitalised in the 3 principal hospitals of martinique or coming to the laboratoire départemental d'hygiène. the parasitism rate was 8.73%. this study showed a significant reduction of intestinal parasitism between results of 1988 and results of 1994-1995. the oro-faecal p ... | 1997 | 9410250 |
| adult t-cell leukemia-lymphoma: a clinico-pathologic study of twenty-six patients from martinique. | twenty-six cases of adult t-cell leukemia/lymphoma (atll) were identified between 1983 and 1991 in martinique (french west indies). there were 14 men and 12 women, all of mixed racial descent and born in martinique. their ages ranged from 23 to 95 years. the main clinical and laboratory features at initial presentation were peripheral lymphadenopathy (22 cases), hepatomegaly (11 cases), splenomegaly (10 cases), cutaneous lesions (12 cases), hypercalcemia (16 cases), refractory infection by stron ... | 1993 | 8113152 |
| implication of htlv-i infection, strongyloidiasis, and p53 overexpression in the development, response to treatment, and evolution of non-hodgkin's lymphomas in an endemic area (martinique, french west indies). | a clinicopathologic study was conducted to assess the implication of htlv-i infection, strongyloides stercoralis (ss) infection, and p53 overexpression in the development, response to treatment, and evolution of non-hodgkin's lymphoma (nhl) in martinique, french west indies. two groups of patients, with 22 and 41 participants with b-cell and t-cell lymphoma, respectively, were analyzed. htlv-i antibodies were detected in 24 (59%) patients with t-cell lymphoma of whom 19 (46%) fulfilled diagnosti ... | 1999 | 10096585 |
| effect of strongyloides stercoralis infection and eosinophilia on age at onset and prognosis of adult t-cell leukemia. | onset of adult t-cell leukemia (atl) usually follows a long period of viral latency. strongyloides stercoralis infection has been considered a cofactor of leukemogenesis. hypereosinophilia (he) is also observed and could be associated with either the presence of parasites or the leukemic process. in non-hodgkin's lymphoma, eosinophilia may or may not affect prognosis. to determine whether infection with s stercoralis and therefore eosinophilia has a significant effect on the development of atl, ... | 1997 | 8980372 |
