The purpose of the study was to review the clinical and pathologic characteristics and treatment results of children with precursor B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. Of 530 children diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphomas between 2000 and 2021, 39 (7.4%) were identified as having precursor B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. Clinical characteristics, pathologic, radiologic, laboratory data, treatments, responses, and overall outcomes were recorded from hospital files and analyzed. The median age of 39 patients (males/females, 23/16) was 8...

Comorbid pulmonary complications in people with sickle cell disease (pwSCD) are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality, and poor access to care contributes to poor outcomes among this particularly high-risk pwSCD. Our purpose was to describe the population served and the resources required for hematology, pulmonary, nursing, respiratory therapy, social work, genetics, psychology, and school liaison providers to see these patients in an integrated clinic. We abstracted demographic, medication, clinical, and diagnostics data of the pwSCD seen at least once in this clinic from February 1, 2014 to December 10, 2020 from the electronic medical record and identified 145 unique pwSCD...

BACKGROUND: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a potentially fatal systemic inflammation disease in children. The most common cause is Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B (MICB) is a membrane protein inducibly expressed upon cellular stress, viral infection, or malignant transformation, thus marking these cells for clearance through natural killer group 2 member D-positive lymphocytes. MICB can be released into plasma through several mechanisms, reducing NK cell cytotoxicity...

PURPOSE: Survivorship care plans (SCPs) have been instrumental in aiding transition from cancer treatment to survivorship care, which contains the diagnosis, treatment, potential late effects, and recommended follow-up. There has been paucity of research on its efficacy and lack of guidelines on development and delivery of SCPs. The Next Steps Survivorship Clinic at Children's Wisconsin uses a Survivorship Healthcare Passport (SHP), a SCP pocket-sized card. This study aims to improve understanding of patient and parent use of the SHP at a single institution...

A pediatric female with sickle cell disease (SCD) and neurofibromatosis type 1 was noted to have incidental papilledema, with subsequent workup showing an elevated opening pressure. She was diagnosed with intracranial hypertension and began treatment with acetazolamide. Hydroxyurea was also discontinued. Acetazolamide was tapered off, and hydroxyurea was restarted with no worsening in her ophthalmologic exam. We report this case due to the rare occurrence of all 3 conditions, and while intracranial hypertension has been reported in SCD, the diagnostic workup for papilledema in hemoglobinopathies is not well defined...

FOOD SAFETY AND PEDIATRIC CANCER: Neutropenia is a common complication of chemotherapy, which poses a high risk of infection and mortality. Neutropenic diet has historically been recommended for those undergoing chemotherapy. The rationale is to reduce the risk of foodborne infection by avoiding foods considered to be of high microbial risk. However, evidence for this diet is limited, and there is a lack of national consensus guidelines. AIM: Ascertain food safety advice across specialist centers providing high-dose chemotherapy for malignancy or stem cell transplants in the United Kingdom...

BACKGROUND: Survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can experience chemotherapy-related changes in neuromuscular function, which can persist and impact the quality of life. Clinically, neuromuscular changes are assessed by observing gait. The primary aims of this study were to compare observational gait/functional movement analysis to matched electronic gait analysis in children with ALL and lymphoblastic lymphoma at specific time points during and after treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Participants 2 to 27 years old diagnosed with ALL/lymphoblastic lymphoma who were on or off therapy within 10 years were eligible...

Differential diagnosis of juvenile hemochromatosis along with hemolytic anemia is often difficult. We report a 23-year-old woman with macrocytic hemolytic anemia with iron overload. The patient showed high serum ferritin and transferrin saturation and low serum transferrin and ceruloplasmin. We also noticed stomatocytes in her blood smear, which was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Target gene sequencing identified a mutation in PIEZO1 (heterozygous c.6008C>A: p.A2003D). This mutation was reported previously in a family with dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (DHS1, [OMIM 194380]), but in the current case, it was identified to be a de novo mutation...

Caregivers of youth with sickle cell disease (SCD) influence the youth disease management and psychosocial outcomes. Effective caregiver coping is important for improving disease management and outcomes since caregivers often report high disease-related parenting stress. This study characterizes caregiver coping and examines its relation to youth clinic nonattendance and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Participants were 63 youth with SCD and their caregivers. Caregivers completed the Responses to Stress Questionnaire-SCD module to assess primary control engagement (PCE; attempts to change stressors or reactions to stress), secondary control engagement (SCE; strategies to adapt to stress), and disengagement (avoidance) coping...

Sickle cell nephropathy is a progressive morbidity, beginning in childhood, which is incompletely understood partially due to insensitive measures. We performed a prospective pilot study of pediatric and young adult patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) to assess urinary biomarkers during acute pain crises. Four biomarkers were analyzed with elevations potentially suggesting acute kidney injury: (1) neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), (2) kidney injury molecule-1, (3) albumin, and (4) nephrin...

As a mainstay of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), vincristine's side effect profile is well known. Parallel administration of the antifungal fluconazole has been shown to interfere with the metabolism of vincristine, potentially resulting in increased side effects. We conducted a retrospective chart review to determine whether concomitant administration of vincristine and fluconazole during pediatric ALL induction therapy impacted the frequency of vincristine side effects, namely, hyponatremia and peripheral neuropathy...

BACKGROUND: Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) is a rare, autosomal recessive disease caused by a biallelic germline mutation in one of the DNA mismatch repair genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2). In addition to the colorectal, brain, and hematological malignancies, many additional premalignant and nonmalignant features that can point toward the diagnosis of CMMRD have been reported. METHODS: The report from the CMMRD consortium revealed that all children with CMMRD have café-au-lait macules (CALMs) but the number of CALMs does not reach >5 in all CMMRD patients, which is one of the diagnostic criteria of neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1)...

Opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome (OMAS) is a rare disorder that causes significant neurodevelopmental sequelae in children. Approximately half of pediatric OMAS cases are paraneoplastic, typically associated with localized neuroblastic tumors. Since early persistence or relapse of OMAS symptoms is common even after tumor resection, OMAS relapses may not routinely prompt reevaluation for recurrent tumors. We report a 12-year-old girl with neuroblastic tumor recurrence associated with OMAS relapse a decade after initial treatment...

BACKGROUND: A significant association has been reported between CEBPE gene promoter polymorphisms (rs2239630 G > A) and the incidence of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). However, no previous study on this issue has been included among the Egyptian cohort of pediatric patients with B-ALL. Therefore, this study was designed to address the associations between CEBPE polymorphisms and susceptibility to B-ALL, as well as its impact on the outcome of B-ALL Egyptian patients with B-ALL...
