The diagnosis was suspected from the frontal chest X-ray, which showed an incompletely circumscribed air-containing space, with a fluid level. The diagnosis was confirmed by the lateral projections of standard X-ray and tomography, and by thoracic computed tomography (CT). Such air-fluid levels should not be confuse...
متن کاملPulmonary complications of chemical pneumonía: a case report.
Hydrocarbon aspiration (HA) can cause significant lung disease by inducing an inflammatory response, hemorrhagic exudative alveolitis, and loss of surfactant function. The most serious side effect of HA is aspiration pneumonia. Pneumothorax, pneumatocele, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pulmonary abscess, bronchopleural fistula, bilateral hemorrhagic pleural effusion and pyopneumoth...
متن کاملSpontaneous pneumothorax complicating Legionnaires' disease.
Introduction Pneumothorax as a complication of pneumonia is more likely to occur with those infections associated with cavitation and abscess formation.

متن کاملSevere pneumonia with pneumatoceles and patent foramen ovale in an infant: optimal ventilation strategy?
We discuss a case of severe pneumonia with pneumatoceles in a 2-month old infant. Despite peak and plateau airway pressures kept below 30 and 25 cmH(2)O, respectively, the infant developed bilateral pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum caused by pneumatocele rupture, necessitating bilateral intercostal drainage. Application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 10 cmH(2)O at FIO(2) of 0.7...
