Prognostic value of bronchoalveolar lavage in patients with non-HIV pneumocystis pneumonia.
OBJECTIVE Non-HIV patients with pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) have a poor prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic factors for in-hospital mortality in terms of the clinical findings, including the results of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)-analyses, in non-HIV PCP patients. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed non-HIV PCP patients diagnosed using bronchoalveolar lavage between April ...
متن کاملPneumocystis carinii pneumonia in HIV-negative patients with haematologic disease.
Since 1990, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) was diagnosed in 15 adult HIV-negative haematologic patients in our hospital. None of them had received PCP prophylaxis. All except one had been treated with prednisone. Symptoms usually started after stopping or tapering. In six patients the diagnosis of PCP was delayed because of confounding bacterial isolates from blood, sputum or urine leadin...
متن کاملClinical characteristics of Pneumocystis pneumonia in non-HIV patients and prognostic factors including microbiological genotypes
BACKGROUND The number of patients with non-HIV Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is increasing with widespread immunosuppressive treatment. We investigated the clinical characteristics of non-HIV PCP and its association with microbiological genotypes. METHODS Between January 2005 and March 2010, all patients in 2 university hospitals who had been diagnosed with PCP by PCR were enrolled in this stu...
متن کاملBronchial carcinoma in patients with pre-existing unilateral lung disease.
Forty-six cases of primary bronchogenic carcinoma occurring in patients with other unilateral pleuropulmonary diseases were studied. In 37 cases (80-4%) carcinoma developed in the previously healthy lung. All but one squamous-cell carcinoma and all of five undifferentiated small-cell carcinomas developed in the previously healthy lung while 7 of 15 adenocarcinomas were in the lung with impaired...
متن کاملINTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE High serum concentrations of surfactant protein A in usual interstitial pneumonia compared with non-specific interstitial pneumonia
Background: The pathological diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ILD) by surgical lung biopsy is important for clinical decision making. There is a need, however, to use serum markers for differentiating usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) from other ILD. Surfactant protein (SP)-A, SP-D, KL-6, sialyl SSEA-1 (SLX), and sialyl Lewis (CA19-9) are useful markers for the diagnosis and evaluation...
