Lung pathology of fatal severe acute respiratory syndrome.
BACKGROUND Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a novel infectious disease with global impact. A virus from the family Coronaviridae has been identified as the cause, but the pathogenesis is still unclear. METHODS Post-mortem tissue samples from six patients who died from SARS in February and March, 2003, and an open lung biopsy from one of these patients were studied by histology and ...
متن کاملValidity of Spo2/Fio2 Ratio in Detection of Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Introduction: One ofdiagnostic criteria for Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome is pao2/fio2 (PF) ratio 300 for ALI or 200 for ARDS. This criteria requires invasive arterial sampling. Measurement of Spo2/Fio2 (SF) ratio by pulseoximetry may be a reliable non invasive alternative to the PF ratio. Methods and Materials: In a cross sectional study we enrolled 105 sample o...

ten, and contained information relevant for clinicians. Chapter 26, which covered positron emission tomography (PET), was surprisingly thin, especially given the robust amount of recently published information on PET in lung cancer diagnosis and staging. More information on PET technique, examples of PET/computed-tomography fusion images, and clinically-oriented recommendations (eg, when should...
متن کاملSevere Acute Respiratory Syndrome
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a new clinical entity which was first observed in Guangdong, China at the end of 2002. Since then there have been more than 7000 probable cases worldwide and more than 800 deaths. The difficulties of managing patients with this potentially fatal condition have been compounded by a lack of data relating to the condition and its highly infectious nature...
متن کاملSevere Acute Respiratory Syndrome–associated Coronavirus in Lung Tissue
Efforts to contain severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) have been limited by the lack of a standardized, sensitive, and specific test for SARS-associated coronavirus (CoV). We used a standardized reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay to detect SARS-CoV in lung samples obtained from well-characterized patients who died of SARS and from those who died of other reasons. SARS-Co...
