the correlation between the bacteriological agent of buffalo pneumonia and its pathologic characteristics were investigated. in the present study, 333 samples of buffalo lungs in iran were studied for pneumonial lesions and evidence of bacterial and viral infection. the type of pneumonia was classified as interstitial, fibrinous or purulent bronchopneumonia and the anatomical location of lesion...

[this article has been retracted for duplicate publication] background: the pathological classification of cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis has been a matter of debate and controversy for histopathologists. objective: to identify and specify the glycotypes of capillary endothelial cells in usual interstitial pneumonia (uip) compared to those found in normal tissue. methods: sections of formalin...

Recently, the numbers of lung transplantation (LT) has been increased in Korea. However, post-LT outcome has not been successful in all patients, which may be partially affected by the primary lung disease. Therefore comprehensive understanding in original pathological diagnosis of patients with LT would be needed for achieving better clinical outcome. To address this issue, we performed clinic...

ymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) is one of a sedes of parenchymal pulmonary diseases discovered in the last few years. LIP has the histologic features of benign pseudolymphoma but it is more diffuse.' In LIP there is a predominance of mature lymphocytes in the interstitiurn of the lung which at times forms germinal centers. The process surrounds, but does not invade, structures normally pre...

Dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) are types of autoimmune inflammatory muscle disease that mainly damage proximal limb muscles, with DM involving characteristic skin findings such as Gottron's sign and heliotrope eruption (Bohan & Peter, 1975a, 1975b). Interstitial pneumonia (IP) is often associated with DM/PM and is one of the important prognostic factors. Above all, rapidly progressi...

A 50-year-old man was admitted to intensive care unit because of acute respiratory failure due interstitial pneumonia; after admission, a diagnosis of acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection was made. Clinical and radiological improvement was observed only after introduction of antiretroviral treatment. We discuss the hypothesis of interstitial pneumonia induced by the acute HIV-1 ...

BACKGROUND Traditionally, chronic idiopathic interstitial pneumonia/fibrosis (IIP/F) had included usual interstitial pneumonia, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP). More recent classifications have included bronchiolitis obliterans-organizing pneumonia (BOOP), respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease, and acute interstitial pn...

AN: acanthosis nigricans CTD: connective tissue disease ILD: interstitial lung disease NSIP: nonspecific interstitial pneumonia TP: tripe palms INTRODUCTION Tripe palms [(TP); acral acanthosis nigricans (AN)], is a rare cutaneous syndrome in which the palms develop velvety thickening and rugosity that creates an exaggeration or distortion of dermatoglyphics, resembling boiled tripe. In more tha...

It has been well known that mesalazine can cause the interstitial lung disease, such as Bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia (BOOP), Non-Specific Interstitial Pneumonia (NSIP), or eosinophilic pneumonia. 5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), mesalazine, and sulfasalazine are important drugs for treating inflammatory bowel disease. Topical products of these limited systemic absorption and...
