Article Abstract

We report a case of acute myeloid leukemia with morphologic features of M7 according to the FAB (French-American-British) classification and severe eosinophilia in the peripheral blood and bone marrow at diagnosis. We consider it as congenital leukemia, as the symptoms started in the first month of life of the affected child. This case of leukemia is characterized by t(3;4;6)(q26;q25;q21) cytogenetic abnormality. The blasts in flow cytometry analysis expressed markers of megakaryocytic lineage along with expression of myeloperoxidase in 30% of them. This type of acute myelogenous leukemia with severe eosinophilia can be considered as a distinct clinicopathologic entity.

First evidence of Significant Autochthonous Transmission of Strongyloidiasis in Northern Spain: A Retrospective Study from Asturias, Spain.

Travel Med Infect Dis

Health Research Institute of Asturias, Oviedo, Spain; Infectious Diseases Unit. Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias; Medicine Department, University of Oviedo, Oviedo, Spain. Electronic address:

Background: Autochthonous strongyloidiasis in Spain has traditionally been considered a recognized but underdiagnosed condition, primarily affecting individuals in agricultural environments along the Mediterranean coast. We describe the first series of autochthonous strongyloidiasis cases diagnosed in Asturias, a region in northern Spain with no previously documented endemic transmission.

Methods: This is a retrospective review of all diagnosed cases of autochthonous strongyloidiasis at the Central University Hospital of Asturias, from 2016 to 2024.

Aims: The use of the term 'histologic eosinophilic gastritis' (EoG) has been proposed for cases with ≥30 eosinophils/high power field (HPF) in five separate HPF and with no known associated causes of eosinophilia. This study evaluates the clinical presentation, pathologic characteristics of 'histologic eosinophilic gastritis'.

Methods And Results: Gastric biopsies with prominent mucosal eosinophils over 23 years were retrieved yielding 87 qualifying cases.

Eosinophilic meningoencephalitis is a rare neurological disorder, affecting mainly young, male and medium-sized to large breed dogs. This case report describes the clinical signs of a grave and peracute clinical course and pathomorphological findings of a young, female Belgian Tervueren shepherd dog with eosinophilic meningoencephalomyelitis. The dog was presented to emergency service with acute onset of progressive apathy, developing into stupor and lateral recumbency.

Background: Primary chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) can be classified based on the sinuses involved and the dominant endotype of the mucosal inflammation. Since the introduction of type 2 targeted biologics as treatment option for CRS, assessment of the inflammatory status has gained importance in CRS patients. We here aimed to characterize CRS patients with and without elevated markers of type 2 inflammation.
