Incidence of CMV Excretion Clinical characteristics of the 115 patients are shown in Table 1. Viral shedding was found in 29 (25 percent) of 115 patients, with CMV isolated from the blood in 20, from urine in six, and from both sites in three patients. The age, type of surgery, delay between ECC and first [...]

Fbtients From January 1981 to June 1986, some 136 consecutive adult patients were admitted to the ICU of Bichat Hospital, Paris, referred from seven Parisian surgical departments because of mediastinitis following cardiac surgery. Patients were included in the study when viral cultures could be performed within ten days after surgical dёbridement. Ten patients died before [...]
Infection with CMV following cardiac surgery was first recognized as a syndrome resembling infectious mononucleosis, and in most cases, documented infection with CMV in nonimmunosuppressed adults produces little, if any, disease; however, concomitant viral infection may increase susceptibility to and severity of sepsis in patients with bacterial infection. Immunologic disturbances with CMV infection have been [...]

On immunohistochemistry, EMA and CEA are known to be useful to distinguish between normal eccrine glands and tumors arising on eccrine glands. S-100 protein is seen on secretory cells of normal eccrine glands and myoepithelial cells, but not in cells of the ductal portion of eccrine sweat glands or tumors arising on eccrine glands. Malignant [...]
Malignant eccrine poroma (eccrine porocarcino- ma) is a rare skin appendage tumor occurring on the intraepidermal ductal portion of eccrine sweat glands, first described by Pinkus and Mehregan in 1963. Five cases have been reported in Korean.
A 75-year-old man visited with complaints of an ulcerative tumor developing on the suprapubic area. The clinical manifestation was a slow-growing ulcerative nodule without any symptoms for 3 months. He had no specific past history or any physical findings such as enlarged lymph nodes. Physical examination showed a 2 x 2 cm2 nodule with an [...]
INTRODUCTION Malignant eccrine poroma is a rare skin appendageal tumor occurring on the intraepidermal ductal portion of eccrine sweat glands. It was initially described as epidermotrophic eccrine carcinoma by Pinkus and Mehregan in 1963. In 1969, Mishima and Morioka2 used the term, eccrine porocarcinoma, subdividing the malignant form of benign eccrine poroma into poroacanthoma, poroepithelioma [...]
