Acute eosinophilic pneumonia associated with 2009 influenza A (H1N1).
Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) is a cause of acute respiratory failure, and differs from other eosinophilic pneumonias by its acute onset, presence of fever and acute hypoxaemia. Cases of 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus infection have included rapidly progressive lower respiratory tract disease resulting in respiratory failure. We describe the case of a young patient who showed dyspnoea, feve...

Background and purpose: Respiratory failures are common diseases among different populations. Pneumocystis jirovecii colonization causes respiratory failure in children and adults with AIDS and patients with predisposing factors of immunosuppression including malignancies, organ transplant, inherited immune deficiencies and immunosuppressive agents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the eff...
متن کامل[Mini bronchoalveolar lavage in patients with severe respiratory failure].
BACKGROUND To recognize the etiological agent responsible for severe acute respiratory failure (ARF) in patients in mechanical ventilation (MV) is important to determine their treatment and prognosis, and to avoid the excessive use of antibiotics. Mini bronchoalveolar lavage (mini BAL) is a blind, non bronchoscopic procedure, used to obtain samples from the lower respiratory tract from patients...
متن کاملPlasma cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of a patient with eosinophilic pneumonia. Morphologic proof of local production of antibodies.
We describe a case of eosinophilic pneumonia in which plasma cells appeared in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). A 49-year-old man presented with wheezing, lung infiltrates, peripheral eosinophilia, and extremely high IgE levels in serum and BALF. A differential count of BALF revealed 56.6 percent lymphocytes and 1.3 percent plasma cells. The appearance of plasma cells suggests local maturat...
متن کاملActivation of lymphocytes and increased interleukin-5 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in acute eosinophilic pneumonia.
Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) is a recently described illness and the number of case reports has increased during the last few years. However, the role of interleukin (IL)-5 and activated lymphocytes in the pathogenesis or activity of AEP is still not clear. The clinical features, lymphocyte surface analysis and IL-5 concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and peripheral bloo...
