Abstract

Bone marrow suppression is one of the most popular side effects of cancer chemotherapy. Bone marrow suppression includes neutropenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia. Clinical application of cytokine is useful in the treatment of bone marrow suppression due to cancer chemotherapy. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF) is useful in the treatment of neutropenia. Erythropoietin(EPO) is useful is the treatment of anemia. However, EPO is not widely used in Japan yet. Clinical application of varions cytokines will bring forth much improvement in the treatment of bone marrow suppression due to cancer chemotherapy.

Severe anemia affects both splenectomized and non-splenectomized Plasmodium falciparum-infected Aotus infulatus monkeys.

Severe anemia is the earliest and a frequently fatal complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection. Here we describe Aotus infulatus as a primate model suitable to study this malaria complication. Both non-splenectomized and splenectomized monkeys receiving different inocula of P. falciparum FVO strain presented large (> 50%) decreases in hematocrit values during infection. Non-splenectomized animals were able to control parasite growth (parasitemia did not exceed 4%), but they had to be treated because of severe anemia. Three of 4 splenectomized monkeys did not control parasitemia and were treated, but developed severe anemia after treatment when presenting a negative blood film. Destruction of parasitized red blood cells alone cannot account for the degree of anemia. Non-splenectomized monkeys repeatedly infected with homologous parasites became rapidly and progressively resistant to reinfection and to the development of severe anemia. The data presented here point to A. infulatus as a suitable model for studying the pathogenesis of severe malarial infection.
