BACKGROUND This study aimed at evaluating HRCT pulmonary manifestations in children with Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) hospitalized in the Pediatric Ward of Masih Daneshvari Hospital during a 10-year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study evaluated 25 children hospitalized with the diagnosis of CVID in the Pediatric Ward of Masih Daneshvari Hospital from 2001 to 2011...

High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the radiological imaging technique best suited to revealing changes in lung structure. Various HRCT findings, taken together, can represent typical patterns. These patterns, in conjunction with the anatomical distribution of findings and with clinical data, can narrow the differential diagnosis of diffuse interstitial lung disease and, in many cases...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest is able to demonstrate the presence of pulmonary infiltrates in febrile neutropenic patients with normal chest X-rays. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a safe procedure for the etiological diagnosis of pulmonary infiltrates in oncohematologic patients. The objective of this study was to...

Septal, reticular, nodular, reticulonodular, groundglass, crazy paving, cystic, ground-glass with reticular, cystic with ground-glass, decreased and mosaic attenuation pattern characterise interstitial lung diseases on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Occasionally different entities mimic each other, either because they share identical HRCT findings or because of superimposition of p...

BACKGROUND Fibrosing alveolitis (FA) is a common and serious complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Before the availability of high resolution computed tomographic (HRCT) scanning, it was difficult to diagnose accurately without recourse to biopsy. Prospective studies have reported a prevalence of interstitial lung disease (ILD) of 19-44%. The term ILD used by these authors encompasses a va...

OBJECTIVES To examine whether the extent of fibroproliferative changes on high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan influences prognosis, ventilator dependency and the associated outcomes in patients with early acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). DESIGN A prospective observational cohort study. SETTING Intensive care unit in a teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS 85 patients with ARDS who met Ame...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings in patients with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed HRCT findings from eight cases of HPS. All patients were men, aged 19-70 (mean, 41.7) years. Diagnoses were established by serological test (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) in all ...

usefulness of HRCT scanning for diagnosis of this disease. Other previously reported CT findings of the disease include increased soft tissue density of the mediastinum 2 and mediastinal and hilar lymph adenopathies, but such findings were absent in our case. Possible explanations for the stable condition of our case over a long period are either that it was a chance discovery of an early phase...
