Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis PulmonaryMatthias Griese, MD Alveolar Proteinosis: A abstract Comprehensive’ Clinical Perspective Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a broad group of rare diseases that are defined by the occupation of a lung s gas-exchange area by pulmonary surfactants that are not properly removed. The clinical and radiologic phenotypes among them are very similar. The age of manifestation plays a central role in the differential diagnosis of the almost 100 conditions and provides an efficient path to the correct diagnosis. The diagnostic approach is tailored to identify genetic or autoimmune causes, exposure to environmental agents, and associations with numerous other diseases. Whole-lung lavages are the cornerstone of treatment, and children in particular depend on the expertise to perform such therapeutic lavages. Other treatment options and long-term survival are related to the condition causing the proteinosis. 3 Under pathological conditions, the inhabitants4 .

Abstract Lipoid pneumonia (LP) is a chronic inflammation of the lung parenchyma with interstitial involvement due to the accu mulation of endoge- nous or exogenous lipids. Exogenous LP (ELP) is associated with the aspiration or inhalation of oil present in food, oil-based medications or radiographic contrast media. The clinical manifestations of LP range from asymptomatic cases to severe pulmonary involvement, with respiratory failure and death, according to the quantity and duration of the aspiration. The diagnosis of exogenous lipoid pneumonia is based on a history of exposure to oil and the presence of lipid-laden macrophages on sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) analysis. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the imaging technique of choice for evaluation of patients with suspected LP. The best therapeutic strategy is to remove the oil as early as possible through bronchoscopy with multiple BALs and interruption in the use of mineral oil.

  • Effects of Indium Exposure on Respiratory Symptoms: a Retrospective Cohort Study in Japanese Workers Using Health Checkup Data
    Effects of indium exposure on respiratory symptoms: a retrospective cohort study in Japanese workers using health checkup data Toshiharu Mitsuhashi Center for Innovative Clinical Medicine, Okayama University Hospital, Okayama, Japan ABSTRACT Background. Indium compounds are known health hazards for lung cancer and interstitial pneumonia. Furthermore, they are related to emphysema, alveolar pro- teinosis, and cholesterol granuloma. In Japan, laws were revised in 2013 to tighten regulations on indium exposure in workplaces. However, its impact on the health of workers who handle indium has not been evaluated. This study aimed to investigate whether subjective respiratory symptoms in these workers have reduced after the 2013 amendment in the regulations. Methods. The subjects were workers from certain areas of Japan who had undergone health checkups between January 1, 2013, and June 30, 2015. Indium-handling and non-handling workers were categorized into the exposed and less-exposed groups, respectively. Based on the findings of health checkups during this period, the hazard ratio of subjective respiratory symptoms (cough, sputum production, shortness of breath, and palpitation) and its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated with the less-exposed group as the reference. The Prentice-Williams-Peterson model was used for calculation, and a model that adjusted for coarse analysis and potential confounding factors was adopted. Results. Overall, 2,561 workers (from 22 companies) who underwent 6,033 health checkups were included. The total person-years were 2,562.8 years, and 162 outcome Submitted 9 October 2019 events occurred. The hazard ratios of the exposed group were 1.65 (95% CI [1.14–2.39]: Accepted 16 December 2019 p D 0:008) and 1.61 (95% CI [1.04–2.50]: p D 0:032) in the crude and adjusted models, Published 15 January 2020 respectively.

Mohanty1,2†, Abhishek Satapathy2†, Machita M. Naidu2, Sanjay Mukhopadhyay3, Shivani Sharma1, Lisa M. Barton4, Edana Stroberg4, Eric J. Duval4, Dinesh Pradhan5, Alexandar Tzankov6 and Anil V. Parwani7* Abstract Background: The world is currently witnessing a major devastating pandemic of Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID- 19). This disease is caused by a novel coronavirus named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS- CoV-2). It primarily affects the respiratory tract and particularly the lungs. The virus enters the cell by attaching its spike-like surface projections to the angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) expressed in various tissues. Though the majority of symptomatic patients have mild flu-like symptoms, a significant minority develop severe lung injury with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), leading to considerable morbidity and mortality. Elderly patients with previous cardiovascular comorbidities are particularly susceptible to severe clinical manifestations. Body: Currently, our limited knowledge of the pathologic findings is based on post-mortem biopsies, a few limited autopsies, and very few complete autopsies. From these reports, we know that the virus can be found in various organs but the most striking tissue damage involves the lungs resulting almost always in diffuse alveolar damage with interstitial edema, capillary congestion, and occasional interstitial lymphocytosis, causing hypoxia, multiorgan failure, and death. A few pathology studies have also reported intravascular microthrombi and pulmonary thrombembolism.

    474 PRACTITIONERS’ SECTION LIPOID PNEUMONIA: AN UNCOMMON ENTITY G. C. KHILNANI, V. HADDA ABSTRACT Lipoid pneumonia is a rare form of pneumonia caused by inhalation or aspiration of fat-containing substances like petroleum jelly, mineral oils, certain laxatives, etc. It usually presents as an insidious onset, chronic respiratory illness simulating interstitial lung diseases. Rarely, it may present as an acute respiratory illness, especially when the exposure to fatty substance(s) is massive. Radiological findings are diverse and can mimic many other diseases including carcinoma, acute or chronic pneumonia, ARDS, or a localized granuloma. Pathologically it is a chronic foreign body reaction characterized by lipid-laden macrophages. Diagnosis of this disease is often missed as it is usually not considered in the differential diagnoses of community-acquired pneumonia; it requires a high degree of suspicion. In suspected cases, diagnosis may be confirmed by demonstrating the presence of lipid-laden macrophages in sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, or fine needle aspiration cytology/biopsy from the lung lesion. Treatment of this illness is poorly defined and constitutes supportive therapy, repeated bronchoalveolar lavage, and corticosteroids.

Accepted February 4, 2008) SUMMARY: Necropsied lung tissues of three fatal cases with avian influenza A virus (H5N1) infection in Vietnam were analyzed to detect H5N1 virus-infected cells. Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded lung tissue sections showed typical histological features of diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) in all cases. Immunohisto- chemistry for the influenza A virus nucleoprotein antigen revealed positive signals of bronchiolar and alveolar epithelial cells in only one patient, who exhibited DAD with an exudative phase and died on the 6th day after onset. However, no signal was detected in the other two cases of DAD with a proliferative phase. These patients died on day 16 and day 17 after onset, respectively. H5N1 virus antigens were detected predominantly in epithelial cells in terminal bronchioles and in alveoli, i.e., type I and type II alveolar pneumocytes, and in alveolar macrophages.
