Pulmonary Hemorrhage in Cryoglobulinemia

A rare presentation of pulmonary hemorrhage with hepatitis C-associated cryoglobulinemia and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis

gal thyroiditis caused by Aspergillus. Blood vessels were invaded by the hyphae of the fungus (Figure 1). A culture of the aspirated fluid showed no growth. The results of repeated tests with an Aspergillus antigen (galactomannan) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were negative. There was no evidence of aspergillosis in the other organs. Blood and sputum cultures were negative. Intraven...

Alveolar hemorrhage in cryoglobulinemia--an indicator of poor prognosis.

OBJECTIVE Alveolar vasculitis is an unusual event in the course of cryoglobulinemia (CG). The inflammatory process involving the alveolar capillary walls may result in severe alveolar hemorrhage and consequently lead to a grave outcome. The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of this unusual finding in CG. METHODS We reviewed the records of all patients with CG who develope...

Efficacy of Tranexamic Acid in Severe Pulmonary Hemorrhage in a Asphyctic Neonate

Pulmonary hemorrhage (PH) is rarely seen in neonates and generally occurs based on the pathological process as perinatal asphyxia. Additionally, hypothermia treatment can be associated with thrombocytopenia and hemorrhage in term infants. Generally, PH is severe and persistant hemorrhage can related to neonatal mortality. Sometimes, supportive therapies such as positive-end expiratory pressure ...

Pulmonary Hemorrhage in Systemic

Reported here is the first case of massive infrapuhnonary hemorrhage emerging in the setting of systemic necrotizing vasculitis associated with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAG)-positive viral hepatitis. Demonstration of circulating immune complexes, cryoglobulins containing both HBsAg and RBsAb, and resolution of the symptoms following immunosuppressive therapy suggest an immune complex medi...
