Presentation
Table 2 presents the analysis of these data. [htct.com.br]
The present study deals with the successful screening of potent microorganisms producing l-asparaginase. 47 microorganisms were screened including bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Thyroid Nodule
The effect of L-asparaginase on the thyroid gland has not been well documented. We report the first two cases of hyperthyroidism associated with thyroid nodule following L-asparaginase therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Eyes
- Esotropia
Ocular motor examination revealed esotropia with a right abduction deficit, consistent with a sixth nerve palsy, and funduscopy revealed bilateral optic disc edema. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Focal Seizure
Intracranial hemorrhage and focal seizures secondary to use of l-asparaginase during induction therapy of acute lymphocytic leukemia. J Pediatr. 1980; 97:829-33. [PubMed 6933231] 101. Priest JR, Ramsay NKC, Steinherz PG et al. [web.archive.org]
Workup
Serum
- Glutamine Increased
The substitution of Ser-254 with either an asparagine or a glutamine increases the l-asparagine specificity but only when combined with the E63Q mutation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other Pathologies
- Diffuse Encephalopathy
encephalopathy or reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome. [eviq.org.au]

Prognosis
Therefore, little is known about this subtype of lymphoma, including its treatment and prognosis. A 65-year-old man was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma with abundant CD20 expression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
ALL in children has a much better prognosis than in adults, with over 90% of children going into remission and an 80% cure rate with chemotherapy. [encyclopedia.com]
Etiology
Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) is being increasingly described with various etiologies even in the absence of hypertension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
Notably, more than half of the CVTs were diagnosed prior the administration of asparaginase which accentuates the role of other risk factors on the pathophysiology of CVT compared to truncal or central venous line (CVL) VTs in adult ALL patients. © 2017 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Timing of reaction (after the second or third exposure most common in true hypersensitivity), symptoms (angioedema, pathognomonic for true hypersensitivity), and therapeutic drug monitoring are all items that may give clues as to the underlying pathophysiology [frontiersin.org]
Prevention
Prevention Avoidance of alcohol is a key preventative measure. [eviq.org.au]
Octreotide 100 μg subcutaneously 3 times/day, utilized as a chemoprotectant, was found to prevent pancreatitis recurrence. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
