Common Questions and Answers about Filgrastim and sepsis

neupogen

493068 tn?1224765315 my stats seem to go up and down so I only have to take it now every 2 wks. It is unknown whether filgrastim (Neupogen) increases or decreasses an individual's risk of developing cancer. Based on limited long-term data from healthy people ( if a person is healthy why would they need neupogen in the first place ) who have received filgrastim, no long-term risks have been found so far. good luck to you....hope this helped!
Avatar m tn Do you mean filgrastim? And are you saying Dengue fever? It would be a surprising though perhaps not impossible use of filgrastim. Dengue is usually treated by pain managers and sometimes hospitalization and a blood transfusion. Anyway, if you have a legitimate prescription from a doctor, you should be able to fill it in the United States.
Avatar f tn For this reason, patients are prescribed antibiotics and even receive injections to increase white blood counts (such as filgrastim or lenograstim). If this 0.4 value really pertains to your white counts, then I believe this is really low and what you are experiencing is a condition called 'febrile neutropenia'. I would suggest you ask your doctor about filgrastim or lenograstim injections aside from the Levaquin. Regards.
Avatar n tn We are really sorry to hear that you suffered septic shock and severe sepsis. That is a difficult situation. We are glad you survived but sorry to hear you have long term issues after. It is really important that you communicate these issues with your doctor. It is not uncommon to have various issues of pain as well as other things following sepsis. This article talks about how it can happen soon or much later. https://www.livescience.
Avatar f tn Onset is quick--- surgery on Wednesday, ill by Friday, in ER by Saturday, diagnosed with sepsis and operated on, dead Monday. There were 4 patients admitted to the hospital the Saturday my mon was with sepsis. Three lived, one died. So, if you don't have issues of pain and possibly fever, I would not worry about a bowel perf.
Avatar f tn Hi all. I have been going thru so much physically and emotional past few months,more than normal. The last 2-3 months I have had more pain and totally lack of interest in everything. I did have sepsis and was in hospital 7days. I've been out 3 weeks still no motivation. I'm on effexor as another pain med. Is all pain and stuff causing this or am I depressed and need to talk to Dr. Is being depressed causing more pain or pain causing depression? I'm so frustrated at all this.
Avatar m tn 2) can syphilis cause such a serious infection and sepsis-like symptoms 8 months after contraction? Bearing in-mind my immune system was very low because of the trauma of the RTA. 3) my symptoms are permanent nasal discomfort (for 7 months now) and a temoporary blister/red lump on the penis shaft full of pus which lasted only 2 weeks. How often does syphilis affect the nasal area and how often is the chancre full of pus?
Avatar f tn It seems in England most are happy to leave them, but Im not convinced this is a good thing. She got Urinary Sepsis about two wks ago and ended up in hospital, and her speech at the same time because very weak and a bit slurred, and her swallowing problems which she had from when she was first diagnosed got worse and she is now having to breathe in after speaking, which she never had before. Im not sure who else I could take her to for a second opinion to be honest.
Avatar f tn t they avoid all together contrast dye if they labeled me with sepsis?? Being that my understanding Sepsis can damage kidneys and to top it off taking a diet pill??
Avatar f tn There are three levels of Sepsis or Septicemia. There is 1. Sepsis, the earliest state 2. Severe Sepsis, the intermediate state and 3. Septic Shock. There are all whole body inflammatory states/reactions caused by the introduction of a bacteria into the blood stream. I have had Sepsis once, Severe Sepsis several times and Septic Shock once all over a 2 1/2 month period of time. This was following a MVA where I suffered extreme, open internal bowel and kidney injuries.
Avatar f tn For some insight, sepsis is a bacterial infection in the bloodstream or body tissues, and in order to make a diagnosis of sepsis, at least two of the following must occur: a heart rate above 90 beats per minute, hyperventilation (more than 20 breaths per minute) and white blood cell count below below 4000 cells/mm. You haven't listed any symptoms so for a perspective frequently, people use the term sepsis to describe 'severe sepsis' and 'septic shock.
Avatar m tn why was not intensive care when he had suspected sepsis. 2. and can sepsis kill so fast that there is no time to bring patient to intensive care, even when it is near by?
Avatar n tn Hey everyone, Its sally. I went to dr. yesterday and hade the PCR test done. My white blood count is now really low. Dr said to come back in 2 weeks and if blood work shows the count is not improving we will have to re-evaluate my dosage. Also they will call me on the results of the PCR test. Friday will be my 5th shot. Suddenly I'm so tired and scared. Another dr has me on Xanex and this is seeming to help.

Avatar f tn I had a baby girl ,my first, on Nov 21. I was in labour for over 24 hours and was eventually sectioned. The baby couldnt cry, they had to suck out liquor from her mouth. The doctor said my placenta had multiple infarcts, the liquor was brownish and the meconium was stale. they too the baby to the ICU but i eventually lost her on Nov 23. The Doctor said the cause of death was overwhelming sepsis and my water must have broken for sometime and the baby has been exposed.

Avatar f tn I'm worried I have Sepsis, I currently have a bad infected ingrown toe nail, and I feel generally unwell since yesterday afternoon, so it's now been over 12 hours since I've felt like this. How fast does sepsis progress and if I had it, what would be the symptoms after 12 hours? Thank you in advance!

Avatar f tn "Sepsis" or infection of the newborn infant is caused by bacterial invasion of the amniotic fluid prior to birth. This can occur because the membranes that surround the baby are not totally protective, or can occur after the membranes are ruptured. Also, the longer the membranes are ruptured before the baby is born, the higher the risk of infection. The infection is most often caused by normal bacterial that are present in the mother's birth canal.
Avatar f tn I am recovering from peumonia and sepsis that put me in ICU for four days. I want to get to the underlying issue. I would like to ask if anyone else has suffered from sepsis and is there a way to find out if my liver caused it? I have had HepC since 1991 and I am genotype 2 2 million viral load.
Avatar f tn I have other chronic conditions such as back and neck pain, basal cell carcinoma, and mental illness. My question stems from when I had sepsis 2 years ago, I almost died from the infection. Is it possible for sepsis to cause lung damage? I also have just recently had bronchitus again and that took about five weeks to get over. I can barely go around the block without being out of breath. I am on combivent and flovent, 4 times and 2 times per day respectively. I also have an emergency inhaler.
Avatar f tn Diagnosed with sepsis refusal to go to Icu what should I do and what could happen I am a 29 year old female please help
Avatar f tn Thus, it is prudent to see a physician as soon as possible and follow his/her recommendations for treatment. In sepsis, death often results not from the bacteria themselves, but from the toxic products (from killed bacteria) discharged into the bloodstream when such infections are treated with antibiotics.
