AIM: to study the spectrum of chronic respiratory diseases of lung with reference to age, gender, lifestyle and occupation. METHODS: The study is done over a period of 5 years (May 2015 to April 2020) in the Department of Pathology, KMC, Kurnool. Total of 50 lobectomy specimens were Formalin xed, parafn embedded and H & E stained tissue sections were studied. Special stains were done whenever necessary. Majority of chronic re RESULTS: spiratory diseases occured in the second to fouth decade with M:F ratio 1.38:1 . On chest x-ray majority of lung lesions affected in lower lobes. Majority of the cases clinically presented with cough, dyspnea, chestpain and fever. Among the 50 of lobectomies, bronchitectasis commonest followed by tuberculosis. CONCLUSION: outof 50 lobectomies, bronchiectasis is commonly (52%) seen followed by Tuberculosis (14%), Hydatid cysts (14%), Aspergilloma(10%), Emphysema (6%), and the least were Lung abscess (4%). In this study, majority were in the younger age group between 21-40 years.

In reference to the article by Sane et al. entitled "Value of Preoperative Chest X-ray Examinations in Children" (Pediatrics 60:669, November 1977), we would like to know if the authors broke down the abnormalities by age group—for instance, five-year segments. If so, did a preponderance of abnormalities of any variety occur at any particular age? We believe that should be stated, as it would strengthen their thesis if there was no difference between 0 and 19 years of age.

Aetiological Diagnosis

To identify the causes of haemoptysis and to diagnose the diseases clinically and cost effective laboratory investigations in our situation. Fifty consecutive cases of haemoptysis admitted at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi during 2000-2001 were prospectively studied .Pulmonary tuberculosis was the commonest found in 19 (38%) cases. Tuberculer bacilli could be isolated in 5 (26.31%) of the cases. Eight (16%) patients were mitral valvular diseases . Bronchial carcinoma was 4(8%) of the series. Three patients (6%) were lung abscess. Six patients (12%) had bronchiectasis. Five patients (10%) had pneumonia. Remaining five (10%) patients were miscellaneous aetiology. In the present series it has been found that pulmonary tuberculosis and mitral valvular disease comprise 54% of the cases. Chest X-ray and sputum examination were found to be the two most useful investigations necessary for aetiological diagnosis of haemoptysis. Within limited resources the aetiological diagnosis of haemoptysis can easily be done in the majority of cases by doing chest X-ray and sputum examination in our country.

Common Infections

Community-acquired pneumonia is one of the most common infections in children with an annual incidence of 34 to 40 cases per 1000 children in Europe and North America. Pneumonia is a common cause of death in children under five years of age worldwide. Thus, about 1,8 million children die from pneumonia annually. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, about 80,000 children every year suffer from community-acquired pneumonia in Ukraine. Material and methods: Retrospective analysis of 100 case histories of children aged 3-9 years old with outpatient segmental/polisegmental pneumonia who were in inpatient treatment in the pulmonology department of regional hospital from January 2017 to December 2018. The representativeness of the comparison groups is represented by age and sex. Methods of examination: clinical-anamnestic, laboratory and instrumental (pulse oximetry, chest X-ray). Results: Most of the children (58%) were admitted to the hospital on the first day of the illness. In 33% of children, comorbidity was noted. All children had fever, an unproductive cough, while symptoms of intoxication (76 ± 4.27%) and dyspnea (52 ± 4.49%) were more pronounced in children 3-6 years old. In the general analysis of blood in children of the first age group, in most cases, leukocytosis was more than 12 G / L (56 ± 4.96%), neutrophilic shift of the leukocyte formula to the left of 88 ± 3.25% and elevated ESR (84 ± 3.66%). X-ray in children of the first age group was dominated by polysegmental pneumonia at 54 ± 4.44%, while in children of the second age group segmental pneumonia was more common (64 ± 4.66%). Half of the children of both age groups prescribed antibiotics of the first line - a group of penicillins and cephalosporins. When starting antibiotic therapy with penicillins, the symptoms of pneumonia decreased already in the 2nd day in 16% ± 3.67% in the group of children 3-6 years old and in 18% ± 3.84% of children 7-9 years. Conclusion. Pneumonia is one of the most common diseases in children, and one of those that can cause many complications and even death. Accordingly, the treatment of this disease should be maximally effective and short-lived. The best choice for treating pneumonia is a group of oral aminopenicillins, which were administered in the first days of the disease and showed significantly better results than patients treated with cephalosporins.

A 51-year-old man presenting with left arm weakness and slurred speech was referred to the acute medical team. Admission chest X-ray showed a cavitating lesion, which had not been present 2 weeks earlier. Systemic enquiry elicited a 2 month prodromal illness and back pain. Urgent CT of his head and chest revealed evidence of thoracic discitis spreading anteriorly into a pleural-based lung abscess and an intracerebral abscess causing his neurological deficit. He was transferred for urgent craniotomy and evacuation of a Streptococcus milleri abscess. Following several weeks of neurosurgical care and antibiotics he made a near full recovery.

Background: Covid 19 was declared a pandemic by WHO on 11 March 2020. Patients usually have pneumonia on chest x-ray at time of presentation however many patients also do not develop pneumonia and have normal chest x-ray.Methods: A total of 51 patients above the age of 15 years diagnosed with covid 19 by RT PCR of nasopharngeal/oropharyngeal samples were included in the study. History of symptoms onset was recorded, chest x-ray and haematological investigations were done of all patients.Results: A total of 51 patients >15 years of age were included in the study. 28 were male and 23 were female patients. Maximum number of patients were in age group 15-30 years. Most common presenting complain was fever (49% patients). Most common comorbidity was diabetes mellitus. There was no mortality reported in patients with normal chest x-ray.Conclusions: We conclude from the current study that patients with normal chest x-ray at the time of presentation have a very good outcome.

Background & Method: This study was conducted in 56 children in age group of 02 months to 14 years with Echocardio graphically proved Ventricular Septal Defect, over a period of 01 and a half year, after taking consent from the parents and explaining them the purpose and method of this study. Result: Out of these 27 patients in 2 to 6 months age group, 11 were large VSDs, 16 were moderate VSDs and 2 were small VSDs. Out of 17 patients in age group 6 to 12 months, 10 patients were large VSDs, 5 patients had moderate VSDs and 3 patients were with small VSDs. Among patients with moderate VSDs only 4out of 25 patients had signs of right ventricular hypertrophy (16%). Left ventricular hypertrophy was evident clinically in 24 patients out of 25 (96%) & obviously no patients had biventricular hypertrophy. A loud ESM was heard (grade II-IV). Conclusion: Clinical examination can also suggest LVH in moderate VSD & sometimes BVH in large VSD, Palpable P2 and loud P2 are very important findings that suggest pulmonary hypertension. Pansystolic murmur is heard in small-moderate VSD and ESM in large VSD. Complications like CCF, pulmonary hypertension, malnutrition and FTT are mostly present in moderate-large VSD. Chest x-ray suggests cardiomegaly, plethora and also enlargement of PA segment in moderate –large VSD. Keywords: ECG, Clinico-radiological, VSD & Severity. Study Designed: Observational Study.

Background: Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a communicable disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has since spread globally, leading to an ongoing pandemic. Aim of study: to review the clinical, lab investigation and imaging techniques, in pediatric age group affected COVID-19 to help medical experts better understand and supply timely diagnosis and treatment. Subjects and methods: this study is a retrospective descriptive clinical study. The medical records of patients were analyzed. Information’s recorded include demographic data, exposure history, symptoms, signs, laboratory findings, chest x- ray, and chest computed tomographic (CT) scans. Data were obtained with data collection forms from paper medical records. Results:  there were 76 COVID-19 pediatric patients, 46.1% of those patients were within the age group 6 -10 years. The female to male ratio was 1:1, and 92.1% of them were living within the urbane area. About 60.5% of patients were pupils. Seventy-one (93.4%) patients of them had no comorbidity. Twenty (26.3%) patients were asymptomatic.  Regarding the duration of hospital stay, 39(51.31) patients had <7 days. All of the patients were nonsmokers. All patients had recovered and discharged from hospital after 2 negative real technique-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests, no death was reported. Only 16(21.1%) patients had severe symptoms. Conclusions: the most common symptoms were fever, Cough, Loss of appetite, Shortness of breath & Fatigue. There was a statistically significant association between white blood cells counts, neutrophil number, Chest X-Ray results, with case severity and a statistically significant association between form of treatment in patients who received Oxygen, Oseltamivir, Azithromycin, Paracetamol, Dexamethasone, and case severity.

Objective. To improve the effectiveness of treatment in exacerbation of community-acquired pneumonia among military recruits with chronic inflammatory respiratory tract processes. Materials and methods. The study included the data from 266 medical histories of military recruits aged 18-26, who had community-acquired pneumonia confirmed clinically and X-ray, as well as concomitant chronic respiratory diseases and a spectrum of isolated microorganisms in the sputum. When pneumonia worsened in patients who were admitted to the hospital, the level of blood serum antibodies to M. hominis was measured. Results. The study results showed that in military recruits, suffering from community-acquired pneumonia with concomitant chronic respiratory diseases, in case of undetected microorganisms in the sputum, the measurement of blood serum IgM antibodies to Mycoplasma hominis has a clinical value. Conclusions. Mycoplasma hominis occupies a special place in the etiological structure of pathology among patients with community-acquired pneumonia.
