Fungal Allergen

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is the most common immunologic reaction following fungal allergen exposure in asthmatic patients. A less frequent syndrome in response to other fungal species like candida is allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM). This reaction is mostly associated with asthma exacerbation, changes in Immunoglobulin E levels, and nonspecific findings in high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). This study presents a 9-year-old girl, a known case of childhood asthma, resolved 4 years ago as a novel case of ABPM due to Candida albicans manifested by severe emphysema, bronchiectasis, and pneumothorax which consequently required long-term treatment to get relieved.

AbstractBetween April and June 2020, i.e., during the first wave of pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), 55 patients underwent long-term treatment in the intensive care unit at the University Hospital of Regensburg. Most of them were transferred from smaller hospitals, often due to the need for an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation system. Autopsy was performed in 8/17 COVID-19-proven patients after long-term treatment (mean: 33.6 days). Autopsy revealed that the typical pathological changes occurring during the early stages of the disease (e.g., thrombosis, endothelitis, capillaritis) are less prevalent at this stage, while severe diffuse alveolar damage and especially coinfection with different fungal species were the most conspicuous finding. In addition, signs of macrophage activation syndrome was detected in 7 of 8 patients. Thus, fungal infections were a leading cause of death in our cohort of severely ill patients and may alter clinical management of patients, particularly in long-term periods of treatment.

History Of

A 47-year-old man presented with an eight-day history of nonproductive cough and constitutional symptoms progressing to respiratory failure. High resolution computed tomography revealed a diffuse micronodular pattern and a ‘tree-in-bud’ pattern in the lower lung zones. Transbronchial biopsy showed features consistent with bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP). After an initially difficult clinical course, the patient responded well to long term treatment with corticosteroids, including improvement of air flow obstruction. This case illustrates a variant of BOOP characterized by a comparatively acute onset, a component of proliferative bronchiolitis, an obstructive rather than restrictive pattern of pulmonary function testing and good clinical response to corticosteroid therapy.

Proximal Tubular Reabsorption

1. About half of our asthmatic patients on long-term treatment with prednisone developed nocturia. 2. This is due to reversal of the normal circadian rhythm of water and electrolyte excretion and is partially corrected within 48 hr of stopping treatment. 3. The disturbance in water and electrolyte excretion appeared to be due to a decrease in proximal tubular reabsorption of sodium at night. This was not directly related to a change in the secretion of Cortisol, aldosterone or antidiuretic hormone.
