Invasive aspergillosis, a major problem during the post-transplant period, typically presents with pneumonia or tracheobronchitis in lung transplant recipients. In contrast, primary cutaneous aspergillosis is very rarely observed in lung-transplant recipients. In this report, we describe a case of tracheobronchial aspergillosis following primary cutaneous aspergillosis in a lung-transplant reci...

Tracheobronchial aspergillosis mainly involves the trachea, primary bronchus and segmental bronchus. the main symptoms including dyspnea, asthma and cough [1]. Based on clinical, bronchoscopic, and pathological presentations, Kramer and coworkers proposed a classification of tracheobronchial aspergillosis, they distinguished saprophytic, allergic, and invasive tracheobronchial aspergillosis (IT...

The effect of sauna on tracheobronchial clearance was studied in five male patients with chronic bronchitis by a radioaerosol technique. No enhancement of tracheobronchial clearance could be detected.

Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is an infrequent disease characterized by the deposition of proteinaceous material in the tracheobronchial tree. The disease generally has a high morbidity and variable mortality in the years following diagnosis. There is no consensus on the optimal treatment. We report a case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with a diffuse tracheobronchial amyloidosis associate...

Nasal and tracheobronchial mucociliary clearance have been compared in 10 healthy subjects. Nasal clearance was measured by monitoring the rate of removal of 2 microns diameter Teflon particles, labelled with 99mTc, which had been placed in the anterior part of the nose. Tracheobronchial clearance was measured with an objective radioaerosol technique, 5 microns diameter polystyrene particles be...
