Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious complications of human bone marrow transplantation.
TL;DR: Better-tolerated oral nonabsorbable antibiotics, laminar-air-flow rooms, granulocyte transfusions, and chemotherapy and immunotherapy for CMV are among the prophylactic and therapeutic measures that must be critically evaluated in well-controlled, prospective studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative efficacy and toxicity of amikacin/carbenicillin versus gentamicin/carbenicillin in leukopenic patients: A randomized prospective trail
William K. Lau,Lowell S. Young,Robert E. Black,Drew J. Winston,Stuart R. Linné,Ralph J. Weinstein,William L. Hewitt +6 more
TL;DR: Improved survival in both treatment groups was associated with the use of combinations of drugs that interacted synergistically in vitro, and a regimen which incorporates carbenicillin and either drug is equally effective, but empiric use of amikacin is indicated when there is a reasonable possibility of infection due to gentamicin-resistant organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circulating Immune Complexes: Their Immunochemistry, Detection, and Importance
Eugene V. Barnett,David W. Knutson,Christine K. Abrass,David Chia,Lowell S. Young,Michael R. Liebling +5 more
TL;DR: The size and molecular composition of circulating immune complexes depend on various factors, including the concentrations and valences of antigens and antibodies and the antigen-antibody ratio, which influence the likelihood of their detection by various assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous antibiotic levels in “breakthrough” gram-negative rod bacteremia☆
TL;DR: Of 237 cases of gram-negative rod bacteremia observed at the UCLA Medical Center during a 12 month period, 52 (22 per cent) occurred while the patient was receiving antibiotics which inhibited the infecting organism by disc diffusion tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ototoxicity of Amikacin
TL;DR: Both monitoring of blood levels and limiting duration of therapy may prevent amikacin ototoxicity.
