We observed a patient who developed diffuse bronchiectasis subsequent to heroin-induced pulmonary edema. Unlike the previously reported cases, there was rapid clearing of pulmonary infiltrates and little evidence of severe aspiration. The development of bronchiectasis was attributed to a bronchial
Extensive and severe bronchiectasis was found in 7 heroin-addicted individuals with pulmonary symptoms whose chest roentgenograms were not suggestive of severe airway disease. Abnormalities consisted of varicose and cylindrical alterations. Pulmonary function tests revealed airflow obstruction,
The yellow nail syndrome is characterized by slowly growing yellow discolored nails and lymphoedema, with onset generally after puberty. We report on a newborn infant who, at 23 weeks, was found to have hydrops on antenatal ultrasonography and bilateral chylothorax at delivery. His mother has the
Noninvasive mechanical ventilation has been suggested for the treatment of patients with respiratory failure. We describe the case of a patient affected by bilateral cystic bronchiectasis and acute hypercapnic respiratory failure, due to a cardiogenic pulmonary edema, successfully treated with
A 77-year-old woman was hospitalized repeatly due to frequent hemoptysis and production of bloodly sputum for several years. Bronchography in 1989 revealed bronchiectasis. She had complained of abdominal pain and diarrhea since 1991, and her urine was first positive for protein in 1992. She was
A young man with a history of recurrent respiratory tract infections for the past 8 years presented with generalised anasarca. He was found to have advanced renal disease (stage 4) and a profound proteinuria of 82.9 g/day. Further workup revealed the presence of advanced bronchiectatic changes in
Yellow nail syndrome is a rare cause of edema due to a disordered lymphatic drainage. We recently observed two cases of long-standing, chronic edema, whose nature could not be understood despite innumerable diagnostic procedures. The diagnosis was suspected based on an attentive clinical exam and
OBJECTIVE
We present a patient with Bruton's disease and bronchiectasis who developed renal AA amyloidosis.
METHODS
A 38 year-old man was diagnosed with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (Bruton's disease) when he was 3 years old, and he has been treated with parenteral immunoglobulin since then. Eighteen
A 19-year-old woman had been treated for bronchiectasis since she was born. In October 1995, she was diagnosed as Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) and HSP nephritis with the findings as follows; palpable petechial rash of legs, abdominal pain, arthralgias, and proteinuria. The administration of oral
1. Virulent influenza bacilli, when injected into the nose and throat of monkeys (Cebus capucinus and Macacus syrichtus), excite an acute inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, characterized by swelling and hyperemia of the mucous membrane, infiltration of the mucosa and subrnucosa with
Inflammatory airways disease is an uncommon but recognized complication of ulcerative colitis (UC). The present study was undertaken to determine the computed tomographic (CT) and high-resolution CT appearances of this entity. A retrospective review was performed of the radiographs and CT scans of
Yellow nail syndrome (YNS) is a rare disorder characterized by the triad of yellow, thickened nails, lymphedema, and respiratory manifestations such as pleural effusions, bronchiectasis, and recurrent lower respiratory tract infections. We report a case of YNS showing pulmonary interlobular septal
BACKGROUND
Trichothiodystrophy is an autosomal recessive genodermatosis associating congenital dysplasia of the hair and neuroectodermal defects. Clinical expression is variable, although abnormalities are generally noted from birth. We report trichothiodystrophy in two brothers with the same
With the increasing number and improved survival of lung transplant recipients, radiologists should be aware of the imaging features of lung transplants and the associated complications. Reimplantation response, a noncardiogenic pulmonary edema seen 48 hours after transplantation that subsequently
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this project was to analyze and validate the diagnostic applications of Volumetric High Resolution CT in the study of focal or diffuse infiltrative lung disease compared with High Resolution CT. To date HRCT is the gold standard in the assessment of infiltrative lung diseases,
