Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare pleuritis with massive pleural effusion.
Atypical mycobacterial infection is seldom accompanied by pleural involvement. We report a very rare case of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare pleuritis with massive pleural effusion. The patient was a non-immunocompromised 35-year-old Japanese male with insidious onset of fever, chest pain and anorexia. The pleural effusion gradually resolved with empirical antimycobacterial treatment, leavin...
متن کاملInvasive Trichosporon Mucoides Infection in a Uremic Patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Maintenance Hemodialysis
Invasive Trichosporon mucoides infections are very rare in uremic patients. They are almost exclusively seen in immunocompromised patients, especially in the setting of neutropenic patients with hematologic malignancies. We report the case of a 62-year-old uremic woman, without neutropenia and on maintenance hemodialysis for four years, who developed nosocomial disseminated Trichosporonosis muc...
متن کاملPleural Effusion in a Peritoneal Dialysis Patient
A 34-year-old female presented with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treated by peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) complained of a dry cough. Chest X-ray and chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed massive right hydrothorax. Because the glucose concentration of pleural fluid was markedly high compared with that of serum, we performed isotope and contrast peritoneography. We used CT for localizing it...
متن کاملPrimary Effusion Lymphoma in an Elderly HIV-Negative Patient with Hemodialysis: Importance of Evaluation for Pleural Effusion in Patients Receiving Hemodialysis
Pleural effusion is a ubiquitous complication in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Common etiologies of pleural effusion in this patient group are heart failure, volume overload, parapneumonic effusion, tuberculotic pleuritis, and uremic pleuritis. Although thoracentesis is a useful diagnostic method of pleural effusion, empirical reduction of the dry weight is often attempted without thoracentesis b...
متن کاملLymphangiomatosis: The Cause of Refractory Pleural Effusion in a Patient with Lupus Erythematosus
Mediastinal cavernous lymphangioma is a rare mediastinal lesion and its association with lupus erythematosus has not yet been reported in the literature. We present a 25 year-old female with lupus erythematosus who had bilateral massive refractory and recurrent pleural effusion as well as ascites for a long period of time. During surgery, a huge multicystic lesion with a thick wall, covering th...
