Disseminated tuberculosis with gradual evolution and unusual localization.

We present a case of disseminated tuberculosis (pulmonary, skeletal and lymph nodes) accompanied by subcutaneous abscesses and with unusual localization, osteolytic lesions of the skull caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis. Although the patient was immunocompetent, the disease had a gradual and unexpected progression. In the malign forms of tuberculosis, treatment must be extended for a year or more.

[Diagnostic difficulties--salvage diagnostic thoracotomies].

The authors are presenting the difficulties of diagnosis, in clearing up the etiology in two cases, where the acceptance of the exploring thoracotomy, influenced the prognostic and permitted to settle up the diagnosis. We are passing through, at this occasion, also the indications of this kind of operation.

[Chemical obliterans bronchiolitis after azotic acid exposure].

The authors present the case of a 48 years old man having an exposure to irritant gases (azotic and lactic acids) in a closed space, inhaling them for 5 minutes. Shortly after the accident the patient displayed the signs of corneal and conjunctival burn; several days afterwards respiratory symptoms appeared: shortness of breath, dyspnea to minor efforts, then nocturnal dyspnea and orthopnea. Chest X-ray, CT scan, complex lung function tests and bronchoalveolar lavaje, together with the history of recent exposure to irritant gases led to the diagnosis of hypersensitivity obliterant bronchiolitis. Oral corticoids in dose of 60 mg/day determined a substantial clinical, radiological and functional improvement. The authors make some comments on the need of early diagnosis and efficient treatment.

[Diagnosis and treatment of a case of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with AutoSet].

The author presents the case of a male patient with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome, in which the use of classic CPAP therapy after performing an uvulo-pharyngoplasty (UVPP) led to very good results. The pressure levels determined initially after a polysomnography with Apnoe Check were compared with the results of the measurements with another device, AutoSet, used for the first time in our country. This allowed the tapering of pressure levels for CPAP and also revealed other advantages of the device, reviewed here.
