The correct management of immunocompromised patients with pneumonia is debated. We evaluated the prevalence, risk factors, and characteristics coming from community pneumonia.We conducted a secondary analysis an international, multicenter study enrolling adult hospitalized in 222 hospitals 54 countries worldwide. Risk factors for immunocompromise included AIDS, aplastic anemia, asplenia, hematological cancer, chemotherapy, neutropenia, biological drug use, lung transplantation, chronic...
<i>Background:</i> Recent studies have shown that quantification of specific histopathologic features found in usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) are useful defining a prognosis, suggesting the need biopsy all patients. <i>Objectives:</i> This study examines whether UIP-associated mortality is different patients diagnosed by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) considered definite UIP and with no radiological diagnosis required histological confirmation...
Fatal interstitial lung disease associated with maximum androgen blockade. Report of one caseMaximum blockade is the standard endocrine treatment for advanced prostate cancer.Interstitial in different degrees severity, low mortality and excellent response to may appear its use.We report a 77 years old patient cancer who developed severe progressive respiratory failure bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, attributed direct effect blockade.Despite therapeutic efforts, died.Lung pathology revealed...
Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome is a potentially fatal illness initially described in the Southwestern United States 1993. Since then, 249 cases have been identified and infection has found almost all other countries on American continent. Mortality extremely high (30%–60%) if diagnosis not made at an early stage, it should be distinguished from causes, viral or otherwise, of severe community-acquired pneumonia. Transmission disease occurs via inhalation virus material contaminated with...
