Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Secondary to Leptospirosis
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), characterized by hypoxemic respiratory failure, is associated with a mortality of 30-50% and is precipitated by both direct and indirect pulmonary insults. Treatment is largely supportive, consisting of lung protective ventilation and thereby necessitating Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission. The most common precipitant is community-acquired bacterial...
متن کاملRespiratory failure secondary to relapsing polychondritis.
Diffuse airway narrowing of the trachea or main bronchus may result from various autoimmune connective tissue diseases. A careful clinical and pathological evaluation is warranted given the broad differential diagnosis. Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare multisystem disorder that primarily targets cartilaginous structures; however, non-cartilaginous tissue invasion is also seen. Airway inv...

متن کاملRhabdomyolysis and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Secondary to Multiple Wasp Stings
Background: Wasp stings usually cause local reactions such as itching, urticaria, angioedema and anaphylaxis. Life-threatening complications following multiple wasp stings are relatively rare and unexpected. However, rhabdomyolysis and acute respiratory distress syndrome following wasp stings are possible. Case presentation: A middle-aged male worker was stung by a swarm of wasps all over his b...
متن کاملHIV-exposed infants with acute respiratory failure secondary to acute lower respiratory infections managed with and without mechanical ventilation.
OBJECTIVES The decision to provide mechanical ventilation (intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV)) to HIV-exposed infants in resource-poor settings has remained difficult owing to problems in confirming HIV infection and the lack of data on outcome. We evaluated the predictive value of the HIV antibody test in confirming infection in infants requiring mechanical ventilation for acute...
