Bronchoalveolar lavage in allergic granulomatosis and angiitis.
Pulmonary involvement occurs in approximatively half of patients with allergic granulomatosis and angiitis (AGA). We studied bronchoalveolar cells from six patients with histologically proven AGA and compared our results with those obtained from four patients with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP), nine nonsmoking patients with bronchial asthma and blood eosinophilia, and 10 healthy nonsmoke...
متن کاملEosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis preceding allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.
A 61-year-old Chinese man with long-standing, stable Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA) and asthma, presented with acute hypoxemia and declining obstructive pulmonary function. Elevated serum IgE levels, positive Aspergillus fumigatus specific IgE and CT findings of central bronchiectasis with small airway mucoid impaction confirmed new development of Allergic Bronchopulmonary...

Hickam’s dictum is the counter-argument to Occam’s razor in medicine; the statement ‘Patients can have as many dis...
متن کاملDeposition of eosinophil cationic protein in granulomas in allergic granulomatosis and vasculitis: the Churg-Strauss syndrome.
Biopsy specimens and tissues obtained at necropsy from two women who died after developing the Churg-Strauss syndrome were analysed to see whether granulomas in these patients contained activated eosinophils or secreted eosinophil cationic proteins, or both. Immunocytochemical studies with monoclonal antibody EG2 showed large amounts of eosinophil cationic protein and eosinophil protein-X (whic...
متن کاملThe Limbal Epithelial Progenitors in the Limbal Niche Environment
Limbal epithelial progenitors are stem cells located in limbal palisades of vogt. In this review, we present the audience with recent evidence that limbal epithelial progenitors may be a powerful stem cell resource for the cure of human corneal stem cell deficiency. Further understanding of their mechanism may shed lights to the future successful application of stem cell therapy not only to the...
