We report a case of BOOP with severe hypoxemia and orthodeoxia. Chest X-ray showed bilateral infiltrative pneumonia and computed tomography scan revealed consolidations on lower lobes. Diagnosis of right-to-left shunt was made on the increase of alveolar-arterial oxygen difference under FIO2 100%,
A 29 year-old-man with Crohn's disease, who developed diffuse pulmonary infiltrates and hypoxemia two months following oral administration of mesalazine, was examined. Clinical findings and computed tomography were suggestive of, and lung histology was diagnostic of, bronchiolitis obliterans
In 1996 36-year-old man was admitted into our hospital because of polyarthralgia, skin eruptions followed by multiple cutaneous ulcers, dry cough and elevation of C-reactive protein level. The finding of skin biopsy from left elbow was vasculitis. Chest CT showed linear interstitial shadow at
Insulinoma is a rare neuroendocrine pancreatic islet cell tumor of which the majority are benign and solitary. Its estimated incidence is 2 to 4 cases per 1 million person-years. We report the case of an 82-year-old female who presented with metastatic insulinoma to the liver and retroperitoneal
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonitis is a clinical and pathologic syndrome characterized by a "pneumonia-like" illness with excessive proliferation of granulation tissue within small airways and alveolar ducts associated with chronic inflammation in the surrounding alveoli. The duration of illness
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) presents with fever, dyspnoea, pleuritic chest pain and hypoxia. The diagnosis can be made from radiological appearances on chest radiograph and CT scan correlated with histological findings following biopsy. We present a 52-year-old gentleman
Authors offer a survey about an aspect forming a clinical entity called bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia, by two of their patients' presentation. In Case 1 the process manifested in form of a disseminated, small spotted, diffuse shadow, causing serious resting hypoxia. Diagnosis was
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to determine factors, including laboratory data, related to the relapse of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP).
METHODS
Retrospective study.
METHODS
The medical files of Fukuoka University Hospital and Nishi Fukuoka Hospital patients from 1984
BACKGROUND
Solid organ transplants (SOTs) may be complicated by a wide variety of infectious and noninfectious pulmonary disorders. Transplant patients receive immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection, but these drugs also predispose them to infection. Because immunosuppressive therapy impairs
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is characterized by frequent recurrence. Few studies have examined onset and recurrence patterns of COP after HSCT. We investigated the clinical features of COP after HSCT in a single-center
The diagnosis of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is usually delayed for several weeks due to treatment for presumed infectious pneumonia. We present a case of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia in a 39-year-old female who presented with shortness of breath and cough. She had both rapid clinical and
BACKGROUND
Bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is recently described clinicopathological entity, with only a few series of patients reported. Terminology is unclear, which together with its rarity lead to a poor understanding of the entity.
OBJECTIVE
To review the clinical,
We describe a 58-year-old female with BOOP associated with polymyositis. Four months prior to the appearance of distinctive manifestation of polymyositis, she presented with a two-week history of cough, dyspnea on exertion, and fever. Chest roentgenogram demonstrated bilateral basal infiltrative
A 65-year-old woman was admitted because of dyspnea and persistent cough. Her chest radiograph and CT films revealed multiple nodular and patchy shadows in bilateral lungs, indicating bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP)-like shadows. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia was diagnosed because
We review current concepts about the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of patients with bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) with emphasis on clinical/pathological correlations and recent developments. BO is a relatively rare disease, but its incidence is probably higher than generally
