Adult pulmonary cytomegalic inclusion disease: report of a case.

Pulmonary cytomegalic inclusion-body disease in a diabetic.

Cytomegalic inclusion-body disease was found at necropsy in the lungs of a 57-year-old diabetic man. The characteristic large cells were found in all parts of the lungs. The alveolar walls showed no cellular infiltration, supporting Hamperl's suggestion that the cytomegalic virus alone may be incapable of causing pneumonitis. A small focus of aspergillosis was also found in one lung. The rarity...

Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis: A Rare Case Report

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is an uncommon infiltrative pulmonary disease characterized by deposition of microliths in the alveoli. We present the case of a young adult with complaints of shortness of breath on exertion. Chest radiograph showed innumerable small, dense nodules, diffusely involving both the lungs - predominantly in the lower zones. High-resolution CT scan illustrated wides...

Observations on cerebral cytomegalic inclusion disease of the foetus and newborn.

We report observations on three cases of cytomegalic inclusion disease. In one, advanced periventricular necrosis of brain with calco-siderosis antedated purpuric and icteric manifestations of the disease which showed shortly after birth at eight months gestation. In the second, advanced periventricular cerebral necrosis had occurred by the sixth month of foetal life, while the third was diagno...

Periodontal Pockets as a Potential Source of Infection: a Case of Possible Odontogenic Septic Pulmonary Embolism

Although dental foci can be sources of bacteremia and bacterial endocarditis, hematogenous spread of infection presented with septic pulmonary embolism apparently is rare. The occurrence of septic pulmonary embolism in patients with periodontal disease without suppurative thrombophlebitis of the great vessels of the neck is well documented but to our knowledge, there is no report on septic pulm...
