Dermatologic toxicity of high doses of tiothepa in children. Case report

Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a treatment modality for a number of severe malignant and non-neoplastic diseases. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) improves outcomes in patients with solid and hematological malignancies. Skin lesions at the auto-HSCT stage are quite common and represent an important diagnostic and therapeutic problem. The most significant causes of skin lesions in auto-HSCT are drug toxicity, infectious and viral lesions. Each of the complications can manifest itself to varying degrees as well as combine with others, having a significant negative on the patient’s condition, posing a threat to the patient’s life in severe cases.
