Abstract

Viral infections especially herpes virus and varicella zoster virus are common complications in patients with hematologic malignancies. The spectrum of infectious complications during and after dasatinib therapy are not known. I report here recurrent herpes labialis and herpes zoster infections in two chronic myeloid leukemia cases treated with dasatinib.

Dasatinib Kullanan Kronik Myeloid Lösemi Tanılı İki Olguda Tekrarlayan Herpes Enfeksiyonu

Abstract

Viral enfeksiyonlar, özellikle herpes virüs ve varicella zoster virüs hematolojik malignitesi olan hastalarda en önemli komplikasyonlardır. Dasatinib kullanımı süresince ve sonrasında gelişecek enfeksiyöz komplikasyonların çeşitliliği bilinmemektedir. Burada dasatinib ile tedavi edilen iki kronik myeloid lösemi olgusunda tekrarlayan herpes labialis ve herpes zoster enfeksiyonu sunulmuştur.
