Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease in an immunocompetent adolescent.

We report a 16-year-old previously healthy boy who presented with a 6-week history of fever, anorexia, weight loss, and respiratory distress. The chest radiograph showed bilateral upper infiltrates and cavitations indistinguishable from Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. He was actually infected with M. kansasii. Treating Mycobacterium in an immunocompetent child requires multiple antimycoba...

Postmortem diagnosis of hemoglobin SC disease complicated by fat embolism.

A case is reported of a previously healthy 52-year-old African American male who presented with acute onset of abdominal pain. Progressive increase in his abdominal symptoms led to an exploratory laparotomy; however, no pathology was discovered. Postoperatively, the patient became hypoxemic which progressed to diffuse infiltrates on chest x-ray, suggestive of adult respiratory distress syndrome...

Fatal pulmonary aspergillosis presenting as acute eosinophilic pneumonia in a previously healthy child.

A previously healthy boy presented with cough and diffuse pulmonary interstitial infiltrates. Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was diagnosed by bronchoalveolar lavage in the absence of a demonstrable infectious etiologic agent. Corticosteroid therapy resulted in immediate improvement but was followed by respiratory distress and death from invasive aspergillosis and Pseudomonas cepacia sepsis.

Evaluation of Serum NT-Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels in Neonates with Respiratory Distress

Background Respiratory Distress (RD) is a life-threatening respiratory failure. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) in distinguishing respiratory and heart diseases in neonates. Materials and Methods Hundred fifty neonates aged 2-3 days randomly collected from those who hospitalized in the related ward of the Ali ...

Evaluation of Serum Levels of N-terminal Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Atrial Natriuretic Peptide in Neonates with Respiratory Distress

Background: Acute respiratory distress (ARD) is a critical respiratory failure due to lung injury of neonates leading to the clinical appearance of poor lung compliance. The aimed of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic values in differentiating respiratory from heart diseases with using of N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) and Atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) in neonates...
