Necrotizing tracheobronchitis associated with rheumatoid arthritis
We report a case of necrotizing tracheobronchitis with rheumatoid arthritis. A 64 year-old-man presented with dry cough and was initially diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia.

It showed that white and soft tis...
متن کاملAcute airway obstruction and necrotizing tracheobronchitis from invasive mycosis.
Necrotizing tracheobronchitis and acute airway obstruction from invasive mycosis developed in a patient who had undergone bone marrow transplantation. The infectious process obstructed the airway and disintegrated the walls of the right mainstem bronchus and pulmonary artery. The airway was cleared using rigid bronchoscopy to extract the detritus. The patient died of hemorrhage after rupture of...
متن کاملNecrotizing tracheobronchitis with progressive airflow obstruction associated with paraneoplastic pemphigus.
Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is an autoimmune disease associated with leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A patient with stage IVB poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma developed characteristic upper and lower airway involvement with profound mucocutaneous erosion and tracheobronchial epithelial desquamation.

متن کاملSevere Necrotizing Tracheobronchitis From Panton-Valentine Leukocidin-positive MRSA Pneumonia Complicating Influenza A-H1N1-09.
In the human lower respiratory tract, influenza A (INFA) can activate an inflammatory response that interferes with the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens, increasing the probability of subsequent infection by opportunistic organisms such as methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).1,2 Some hypervirulent strains of communityacquired and ho...
متن کاملDoes ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis need antibiotic treatment?
It is difficult to define ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT). The most accepted definition includes fever (temperature > 38 degrees C), new or increased sputum production, a microbiologically positive respiratory sample with counts above the accepted thresholds and absence of pulmonary infiltrates on chest X-ray. Although we have no doubt that this pathologic process exists, the main...
