Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Endocarditis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia. A Rare Complication
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical Science (IJBS) - Year 2008, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Infectious endocarditis is a rarely encountered complication among leukemia patient during induction therapy. We describe a young patient who developed prolonged high fever after aggressive chemotherapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Pseudomonas Aeruginosa endocarditis was found to be the etiology for the febrile state. Our purpose is to emphasize the need for an early diagnosis of this rare, albeit treatable complication
