BACKGROUND
Ventilator-associated pneumonia, a leading cause of sepsis in patients with acute respiratory failure, is difficult to distinguish clinically from other processes affecting patients receiving mechanical ventilation. We conducted a prospective study of patients with suspected
BACKGROUND
Fever is associated with a poor outcome in severely brain-injured patients, and its control is one of the therapies used in this condition. But, fever suppression may promote infection, and severely brain-injured patients are frequently exposed to infectious diseases, particularly
Purpose Q fever is a worldwide zoonosis that causes clinical symptoms ranging from mild flu-like symptoms to severe pneumonia and/or hepatitis. This retrospective study was conducted to describe the radiographic and clinical signs in patients with acute Q feverpneumonia in Southwest Germany.
Pneumonia is one of the principal manifestations of Q fever, a disease caused by Coxiella burnetii. This bacterium can replicate only within cells, yet it is capable of surviving in the environment because it can withstand drying and substantial temperature variations. Livestock, especially sheep,
We report a case of Q fever-related antiphospholipid syndrome in a patient presenting with acalculous cholecystitis and pneumonia. Serial laboratory tests indicated that the previous serological tests suggesting hepatitis C virus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections were false-positives. The
Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii-an obligate, Gram-negative, intracellular bacteria. Acute febrile illness, hepatitis, and atypical pneumonia are the three most common manifestations, whereas lobar pneumonia is rarely reported among acute Q fever patients. We report a case
BACKGROUND
The clinical characteristics of Q fever are poorly identified in the tropics. Fever with pneumonia or hepatitis are the dominant presentations of acute Q fever, which exhibits geographic variability. In southern Taiwan, which is located in a tropical region, the role of Q fever in
Here, we report on a patient after kidney transplantation, who developed fever and pneumonitis due to mycophenolic acid (MPA) treatment. Decreasing MPA dosages improved the symptoms, but after rechallenge with higher MPA doses the symptoms recurred. Discontinuation of MPA resulted in a complete
BACKGROUND
This study was performed to define what clinical and analytical variables were significantly associated with the presence of pneumonia in febrile patients. A predictive model which may rationalize radiologic explorations is presented.
METHODS
A prospective study was carried out in two
In HIV-infected patients, cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease diagnosis is usually difficult and disease results from reactivation of latent infection or reinfection in the context of severe immunosupression. Although the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has resulted in a
We hypothesized that fever in children with viral bronchiolitis indicates the need for consideration of superimposed bacterial pneumonia. We conducted a retrospective study of 349 children aged 2 years and younger with diagnoses of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and viral upper respiratory
In 2014, an outbreak of adenoviral pneumonia occurred in the Korean military training center. However, there are limited data on the characteristics of the fever and its response to antipyretic therapy in immunocompetent adults with adenovirus-positive community-acquired pneumonia
Children with pneumonia presenting with extrathoracic pain, such as abdominal pain, have been previously described. In this report, we describe a 3-year-old girl with fever and right arm pain who was found to have an apical lobar pneumonia.
BACKGROUND
Metal fume fever (MFF) is a well-known complication of zinc oxide fume inhalation. Prompt recognition of this condition is essential for the proper medical management of this self-limited disease.
OBJECTIVE
To present a unique and unusual case of MFF.
RESULTS
Our patient is a 25-year-old
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) may be caused by typical or atypical pathogens. The three most common zoonotic atypical pathogens are Chlamydophila psittaci (psittacosis), Francisella tularensis (tularemia), and Coxiella burnetii (Q fever). Atypical CAPs are suggested by a distinctive pattern of
