Specific Symptoms

Bronchial carcinoma in 4,000 patients investigated over a 15-year period, presented in these ways: With some or all of the cardinal symptoms of respiratory disease (68%). Daily haemoptysis, and recurrent febrile respiratory illness with complete or incomplete recovery between episodes, were two manners of presentation particularly suggestive of the diagnosis of bronchial carcinoma. Without symptoms and because of an abnormality detected on a chest radiograph made for routine purposes (5%). With evidence of extension of or metastases from bronchial carcinoma without respiratory symptoms or with respiratory symptoms long accepted and not recently changed (13%). Evidence of extension of bronchial carcinoma was established by investigation in 45 per cent of the whole series. With non-specific symptoms such as loss of weight or dyspepsia and without respiratory symptoms (12%). With unusual symptoms which were not respiratory or with the humoral or neural concomitants of bronchial carcinoma such as hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy without, or with only unobtrusive respiratory symptoms (2%). The incidence of bronchial carcinoma amongst coal miners in the South East Region of Scotland may be disproportionately high.

Novel Coronavirus

Severe acute respiratory syndrome [SARS], the first severe new infectious disease of this millennium, caused widespread public disruption. By July 2003, 8427 probable SARS cases had been reported from 29 countries with a case fatality rate of 9.6%. The new febrile respiratory illness spread around the world along the routes of international air travel, with outbreaks concentrated in transportation hubs or densely populated areas. The etiologic agent was identified as a novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV. The disease is transmissible person-to-person through direct contact, large droplet contact and indirect contact from fomites and unwashed h and s. Saudi Arabia successfully prevented the entry of the disease by imposing travel restrictions, special entry requirements, screening procedures at airports, including temperature checks, and quarantine. Ongoing efforts are aimed at developing case investigation, case management and surveillance protocols for SARS

Immunocompetent Patients

Invasive aspergillosis is an often fatal disease that usually occurs in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of invasive aspergillosis presenting as a febrile respiratory infection with a cardiac mass in an immunocompetent patient. Invasive aspergillosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an otherwise undiagnosed febrile respiratory illness, even in immunocompetent patients. Echocardiography should be peformed to evaluate for endocarditis in such cases. Prompt initiation of appropriate antifungal therapy is warranted, even before the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis is confirmed.
