Pulmonary histiocytosis X in adult patients.

Clinical findings and course of the disease are described in 6 patients suffering from pulmonary histiocytosis X. Diagnosis was suspected when a reticulo-nodular pattern was detected by conventional X-ray or by computerized tomography of the lungs. Laboratory tests were non-specifically altered, lung function was impaired. Signs of the disease improved spontaneously in one patient and when cytostatics were given in two of five patients. To judge the course of the disease, repeated controls of lung function parameters -- besides roentgenographic methods -- were of particular value.

Therapy in pulmonary histiocytosis X.

Clinical findings and course of the disease are described in six patients suffering from pulmonary histiocytosis X. Diagnosis was suspected when a reticulonodular pattern was detected by conventional X-ray or by computerized tomography of the lungs. Laboratory tests were altered nonspecifically, and lung function was impaired. Signs of the disease improved spontaneously in one patient and when cytostatics were given in two of five patients. To judge the course of the disease, repeated controls of lung function parameters - besides roentgenographic methods - were of particular value.

[Perbronchial lung biopsy and respiratory function tests].

27 patients with diffuse pulmonary disease according to X-ray findings were examined by lung function and perbronchial lung biopsy. The lung function tests are compared with the extent of impairment of lung function expected according to lung specimen obtained by perbronchial biopsy. It is shown that lung function is a good indicator if the lung specimen is representative for the disease, and that the results of perbronchial biopsy mostly are representing the disease. The use of perbronchial biopsy is discussed and shown in some cases.

[Aetiology and treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax (author's transl)].

During the past 24 years 571 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax were observed in 408 persons. The aetiology of spontaneous pneumothorax is reviewed. Diagnostic thoracoscopy followed by suction drainage is recommended. Bilateral tension pneumothorax and recurrent pneumothorax were treated by surgery. The preferential method was local or partial parietal pleurectomy. In some cases the pneumothorax was sealed by a dura graft. There was no substantial functional impairment and no post-thoracotomy death. The average lenght of treatment was 20 days.
