Chemokine involvement in tetracycline-induced pleuritis.
Sclerosants such as tetracycline (TCN) have often been used in the control of malignant pleural effusions. Although the resultant inflammatory response is probably important in the ensuing pleural fibrosis, the signals responsible for the cellular influx into the pleural space following TCN instillation are not well understood. This study, therefore, sought to determine whether the chemokines i...
متن کاملOlanzapine-induced eosinophilic pleuritis
An elderly patient, with a history of depression with psychosis, presented with breathlessness, a right exudative pleural effusion and a peripheral eosinophilia. The pleural fluid was eosinophil-rich (10% of leucocytes). Olanzapine therapy had been commenced 12 months previously. There was a family history of TB and the patient was of African origin. A full diagnostic work-up ensued including c...
متن کاملPleuritis Caused by Mycobacterium kyorinense without Pulmonary Involvement
We herein describe the first known case of pleuritis caused by Mycobacterium kyorinense without pulmonary involvement. A 48-year-old man undergoing immunosuppressant therapy presented with cough and dyspnea. An accumulation of pleural fluid was noted; however, computed tomography revealed no pulmonary lesions. Cultures of the fluid yielded non-tuberculous mycobacteria, which was identified as M...
متن کاملInvolvement of the fibroblast growth factor system in adaptive and chemokine-induced arteriogenesis.
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) have been applied in a variety of therapeutic and experimental studies to improve collateral blood flow. However, the pathophysiological role and the temporospatial expression of the FGFs and their receptors during arteriogenesis have never been elucidated in vivo. Here, we report that collateral artery growth in its early phase is associated with an increased e...
متن کامل[Rheumatoid pleuritis].
Three patients are described in whom pleural effusion appeared to be a manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis. In each, needle biopsy demonstrated granuIomatous pleural lesions resembling the subcutaneous rheumatoid nodule while extensive studies failed to reveal any evidence of infection or neoplasm. The presence of extremely low fluid sugar concentration is regarded as strongly suggestive of r...
