A Case of Vascular Leak Syndrome During Induction Chemotherapy of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia(T Cell Type)
Kye Wool Kang, Hwang Min Kim, Won Kyu Choi, Baek Keun Lim, Chang Hun Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(9):1041-1046.   Published online September 15, 2001
Vascular leak syndrome(VLS) is characterized by endothelial damage, which causes extravasation of plasma proteins and fluid from capillaries into the extravascular space. It has been suggested that the increased vascular permeability is the result of an IL-2-induced suppression of endothelin- 1 secretion by endothelial cells, an IL-2-induced activation of the complement cascade or TNF-αrelease from IL-2-activated T-cells. A 13-year-old male patient visited our hospital...
