A 14-year-old girl with high fever, dyspnea and bilateral miliary nodules on chest X-ray, developed a rapidly progressive respiratory failure associated with histiocytic hemophagocytosis. Histologic examination of bone marrow biopsy revealed tuberculous granulomas with caseating necrosis. We report a pediatric case in which treatment with extracorporeal lung support and epipodophyllotoxin VP 16-213 was successful.

D005047 Etoposide A semisynthetic derivative of PODOPHYLLOTOXIN that exhibits antitumor activity. Etoposide inhibits DNA synthesis by forming a complex with topoisomerase II and DNA. This complex induces breaks in double stranded DNA and prevents repair by topoisomerase II binding. Accumulated breaks in DNA prevent entry into the mitotic phase of cell division, and lead to cell death. Etoposide acts primarily in the G2 and S phases of the cell cycle.
