INTRODUCTION Goodpasture's syndrome consists of a triad of pulmonary hemorrhage, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibodies, either in circulation or fixed to the kidney. The absence of renal manifestations is uncommon. We present a case of biopsy proven anti-GBM antibody disease with normal renal function, mild urinary abnormalities and p...

Covid-19 is a disease with clinical symptoms such as fever, cough, fatigue, and lung involvement. Patients involvement may be mortal cause some fatal complications. In this case report, the management of cardiac arrest following sudden severe pulmonary hemorrhage in patient mass was presented.

Objective: To present the pulmonary histopathological alterations found in the autopsies of patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) and determine whether underlying diseases and certain associated risk factors increase the incidence of these histopathological patterns. Methods: Final autopsy reports were reviewed, and 3030 autopsies of patients > 1 year of age with an underlying disease a...

Pulmonary infarction results from occlusion of the distal pulmonary arteries leading to ischemia, hemorrhage and ultimately necrosis lung parenchyma. It is most commonly caused by acute embolism (PE), with a reported incidence around 30%. Following an artery, bronchial are recruited as primary source perfusion capillaries. The relatively higher blood pressure in circulation causes increase capi...

BACKGROUND Unexplained pulmonary hemorrhage and hemosiderosis are rarely seen in infancy. A geographic cluster of 10 infants with this illness was identified in a large pediatric referral hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, during the period of January 1993 through December 1994. One infant died of severe respiratory failure. METHODS A case-control study was conducted. Three control infants were mat...

and soft tissue, and commonly metastasizes to the lungs, showing multiple nodules. The metastatic lung lesions rarely cavitate(1-5), though a angiosarcoma with cavitary metastasis can be complicated by hemopneumothorax(1-5). Metastatic lung lesions showing both cavities and pulmonary hemorrhage on high resolution CT have not, however, been reported. We describe a case of angiosarcoma of the sca...

UNLABELLED Massive pulmonary hemorrhage can pose a significant therapeutic challenge. Traditional methods of airway clearance using saline lavage and direct thrombus removal via bronchoscopy have limited ability to retrieve thrombi from deep airways. We report a patient on extracorporeal life support with massive pulmonary hemorrhage resulting in extensive alveolar and airway thrombus extending...

Although diffuse alveolar hemorrhage complicating warfarin therapy is rare, it generally has a worsening clinical course and can be a life threatening condition. A 56-year-old male who had undergone a pulmonary lobectomy for lung cancer 2 years before had received warfarin for about 5 months due to pulmonary vein thrombosis. The patient presented with severe dyspnea and had prolonged anticoagul...
