Comparison between Acute Phase Reactant in COVID-19 Pneumonia And Bacterial pneumonia

Not typical pneumonia: acute exogenous lipoid pneumonia in 19 children

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate clinical characteristics, radiological findings and therapies of ELP in healthy children. Methods: 19 children hospitalized in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed, with a mean age of 30 months (range: 14-60 months). The medical records including clinic manifestations, radiologic findings and treatments were analyzed. Results: There were 19 pa...

Mechanisms of the hepatic acute-phase response during bacterial pneumonia.

The acute-phase response is characterized by increased circulating levels of acute-phase proteins (APPs) generated by the liver. During bacterial pneumonia, APPs correlate with the severity of disease, serve as biomarkers, and are functionally significant. The kinetics and regulatory mechanisms of APP induction in the liver during lung infection have yet to be defined. Here we show that APP mRN...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia and viral pneumonia.

Incidental finding of 68Ga-PSMA uptake in covid-19 induced pneumonia

A 68 years old man with prostate carcinoma was referred for 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan because of recent significant rise of PSA. He complained of muscle weakness and fatigue, since 3 weeks before the scan, without dyspnea or shortness of breath. In his 68Ga-PSMA-611 PET/CT study, widespread skeletal metastasis, as well as liver involvement were noticed. Also, multiple bilatera...

Bacterial pneumonia following acute ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND The most common serious complication following acute ischemic stroke is pneumonia, which may increase mortality and worsen clinical outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictors of 30-day mortality in patients with pneumonia following acute ischemic stroke. METHODS From June 2006 to May 2011, we retrospectively included 51 patients with pneumonia following a...
