Broncho-Pleural Fistula with Hydropneumothorax at CT: Diagnostic Implications in Mycobacterium avium Complex Lung Disease with Pleural Involvement.
OBJECTIVE To determine the patho-mechanism of pleural effusion or hydropneumothorax in Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease through the computed tomographic (CT) findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected data from 5 patients who had pleural fluid samples that were culture-positive for MAC between January 2001 and December 2013. The clinical findings were investiga...
متن کاملBroncho-pleural fistula complicating rheumatoid lung disease.
Introduction The pleuro-pulmonary changes associated with rheumatoid arthritis are well known. A rare and more specific lesion is the subpleural or intraparenchymal rheumatoid nodule. The pulmonary nodules usually occur in patients with severe disease with subcutaneous nodules and high titres of rheumatoid factor. They may cavitate, and spontaneous pneumothorax may occur (Hindle and Yates, 1965...
متن کاملTurpentine-induced chemical pneumonitis with broncho-pleural fistula.
Turpentine is a volatile hydrocarbon used in polishes, solvents, paints and textile industry. When hydrocarbons are aspirated into the lung, they cause chemical pneumonitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and rarely pneumatoceles and pneumothorax. We report a 20-year old boy with turpentine-induced chemical pneumonitis that evolved into a bronchopleural fistula. He was treated with...
متن کاملMycobacterium avium-intracellulare pleuritis with massive pleural effusion.
Atypical mycobacterial infection is seldom accompanied by pleural involvement. We report a very rare case of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare pleuritis with massive pleural effusion. The patient was a non-immunocompromised 35-year-old Japanese male with insidious onset of fever, chest pain and anorexia. The pleural effusion gradually resolved with empirical antimycobacterial treatment, leavin...
متن کاملA new endobronchial tube for broncho-pleural fistula repair.
IN anaesthesia for the surgery of pulmonary tuberculosis, bronchial blocking appears to be the exceptional rather than the usual procedure. This is, no doubt, largely due to the much improved preoperative treatment nowadays of patients with sputum. Moreover, there has not yet been published by those who practise bronchial blocking a convincing series to show that their cases have a lower collap...
