Adult primary varicella pneumonia: high-resolution computed tomography findings.
A 73-year-old woman was hospitalized for the treatment of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. She complained of itchiness with a rash on her trunk and was diagnosed with chickenpox. Although she had no respiratory symptoms, chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) performed on the same day showed multiple nodules with surrounding ground-glass attenuation (GGA) and consolidation (Picture). B...
متن کاملVaricella pneumonia in immunocompetent adults: report of two cases, with emphasis on high-resolution computed tomography findings.
We report two cases of varicella pneumonia in immunocompetent patients, with emphasis on high-resolution computer tomography manifestations. The predominant findings consisted of multiple bilateral nodules, ranging from 1-10 mm in diameter, with or without a surrounding halo of ground-glass attenuation. Other findings include ground-glass opacities, focal areas of consolidation and small pleura...
متن کاملIdiopathic lipoid pneumonia findings in chest high resolution computed tomography. A case report.
adjusted antibiotic treatment, when possible, and surgical drainage are crucial. Drainage is required to evacuate the accumulated pus and to sterilize and close the pleural cavity, thus allowing good pulmonary mobility. Different procedures may be employed, such as closed drainage systems by tube thoracostomy, or partial costectomy, or open systems, such as open thoracostomy with the creation o...
متن کاملChronic eosinophilic pneumonia secondary to long-term use of nitrofurantoin: high-resolution computed tomography findings.
The authors report the case of a female patient who developed chronic eosinophilic pneumonia secondary to long-term use of nitrofurantoin for prophylaxis of recurrent urinary tract infections due to urethral stenosis. On high-resolution computed tomography scans, the pulmonary reaction to nitrofurantoin most commonly manifests as an interstitial-alveolar pattern in both lung bases. However, in ...
متن کاملLate abnormal findings on high-resolution computed tomography after Mycoplasma pneumonia.
BACKGROUND The clinical course of Mycoplasma pneumonia is typically mild and self-limited. There are, however, several case reports of severe complication following this illness with considerable morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to investigate, using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), the long-term pulmonary structural abnormalities after Mycoplasma pneumo...
