Title: Milkers' nodules complicated by erythema multiforme and graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma. Author: Slattery WR, Juckett M, Agger WA, Radi CA, Mitchell T, Striker R. Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2005 Apr 01; 40(7):e63-6. PubMed ID: 15824977. Abstract: We describe a case of cow-transmitted parapoxvirus infection--also known as milkers' nodules--after a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma. The infection was complicated by erythema multiforme and acute exacerbation of graft-versus-host disease. Parapoxvirus was confirmed by electron microscopy. The natural history of milker's nodules in immunocompetent hosts is described and compared to that in our immunocompromised patient.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
