Pulmonary Infiltrate
IPA must be considered in immunocompromised patients with pulmonary infiltrates who do not respond to broad-spectrum antibiotics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Serological tests and CT findings can aid in early diagnosis of IPA, which, along with treatment for IPA, will improve clinical outcomes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Specific topics of discussion include indications for allogeneic bone marrow transplant in first complete remission, the role of minimal residual disease in making treatment decisions, the treatment of young adults, and the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome [books.google.com]
The number of longitudinal nutritional studies during treatment, however, is limited. [scinapse.io]
Knowledge of its treatment is limited to retrospective analyses of small patient cohorts. So far, no treatment recommendations verified by prospective studies have been published. [biomed.papers.upol.cz]

Prognosis - Biphenotypic acute leukaemia The prognosis of BAL in adults is worse than acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) or acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL). Four year overall survival has been quoted at 8%, although the numbers in this study are low. [checkorphan.org]
