Basophilic leukemia.

C V Jennings, C L Dannaher, L T Yam

    Southern Medical Journal
    |July 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Basophilic leukemia can worsen hyperhistaminemia symptoms, especially after hydroxyurea chemotherapy. Antihistamines help manage these symptoms, but peptic ulcers require additional supportive care and cimetidine to prevent fatal complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Basophilic leukemia is a rare hematologic malignancy.
    • Chronic granulocytic leukemia can transform into basophilic leukemia.

    Observation:

    • A patient with basophilic leukemia experienced aggravated hyperhistaminemia symptoms after hydroxyurea chemotherapy.
    • H1 receptor antagonists partially controlled hyperhistaminemia symptoms.
    • Peptic ulcer disease with hemorrhage occurred and was not managed by H1 blockade.

    Findings:

    • Hyperhistaminemia symptoms in basophilic leukemia can be exacerbated by chemotherapy.
    • H1 receptor antagonists are effective for some hyperhistaminemia symptoms.
    • Peptic ulcer disease is a serious complication not controlled by H1 receptor antagonists.

    Implications:

    • Routine supportive therapy for peptic ulcer disease and cimetidine for gastric hyperacidity are recommended in basophilic leukemia patients undergoing chemotherapy.
    • Preventing peptic ulcer complications is crucial for improving outcomes in basophilic leukemia.
    • Further research into the chemical analysis of leukemic basophils may yield new therapeutic targets.
