Pulmonary gangrene and the air crescent sign.
BACKGROUND A study was carried out to increase familiarity with the aetiology, pathogenesis, and radiographic features that characterise pulmonary gangrene. PATIENTS Four patients with one of the disorders vasoinvasive aspergillosis, infarcted tuberculous cavity, chronic necrotising aspergillosis, and gangrene due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa were selected because they showed the variations of t...
متن کاملSpirochetal Lipoproteins and Immune Evasion
Spirochetes are a major threat to public health. However, the exact pathogenesis of spirochetal diseases remains unclear. Spirochetes express lipoproteins that often determine the cross talk between the host and spirochetes. Lipoproteins are pro-inflammatory, modulatory of immune responses, and enable the spirochetes to evade the immune system. In this article, we review the modulatory effects ...
متن کاملSevere pneumococcal pneumonia complicated by massive pulmonary gangrene.
Massive pulmonary gangrene is a rare complication of pneumonia, particularly in the postantibiotic era. We report two cases of community-acquired Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia in young patients with a background of heavy alcohol abuse, but no other preexisting disease, which failed to respond to appropriate antibiotic therapy and intensive care. In both, there was extensive unilateral invo...
متن کاملAssociation of spirochetal infection with Morgellons disease
Morgellons disease (MD) is an emerging multisystem illness characterized by skin lesions with unusual filaments embedded in or projecting from epithelial tissue. Filament formation results from abnormal keratin and collagen expression by epithelial-based keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Recent research comparing MD to bovine digital dermatitis, an animal infectious disease with similar skin featu...
متن کاملLipoprotein-dependent and -independent immune responses to spirochetal infection.
In this study, we used the epidermal suction blister technique, in conjunction with multiparameter flow cytometry, to analyze the cellular and cytokine responses elicited by intradermal injection of human volunteers with synthetic analogs for spirochetal lipoproteins and compared the responses to findings previously reported from patients with erythema migrans (EM). Compared with peripheral blo...
