Abstract

The incidence of an active tuberculosis infection after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is high. We herein report the case of a patient with acute myeloid leukemia after cord blood transplantation (CBT). On day 36 after CBT, the patient developed fever, and a computed tomography scan on day 36 showed mild thickening of the wall of the gallbladder. Subsequently, a sputum specimen and a blood culture returned positive for the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. After 2 months of administering combination therapy, both the symptoms and gallbladder findings improved. We therefore describe a case of disseminated tuberculosis with the gallbladder mimicking acute cholecystitis in a CBT recipient.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.
