[Massive pneumonia with severe acute respiratory insufficiency after chicken pox in a female patient].

A female patient who developed massive bilateral pneumonia with severe respiratory insufficiency during recovery from varicella, is presented. Blood serologic analyses detected the cause of infection--Mycoplasma pneumoniae, while Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated by bacteriological examination of the sputum. M. pneumoniae is a causative agent of acute upper and lower respiratory airway infections with a frequently mild clinical picture. This agent rarely provokes massive pneumonia with severe clinical appearance as described in the patient, who had immunodeficiency due to previous infection with Varicella zoster virus.

[Personal experience in the diagnosis and therapy of pulmonary thromboembolism].

The analysis of both clinical findings and diagnostic procedures results were performed in 26 patients with thromboembolic pulmonary disease in order to determine the incidence of signs indicating pulmonary thromboembolism. Sudden dyspnea, hemoptysis and chest pains are the most common symptoms of the disease. These symptoms associated with radiographically confirmed pulmonary infiltrations with the elevation of hemidiaphragm and pleural effusion, particularly if they are bilateral, are the main clues for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Perfusion defect on the pulmonary scintigraphy makes this diagnosis almost certain. Hypoxemia and hypocapnia and respiratory alkalosis are frequent findings in thromboembolic pulmonary disease, as well. Fever, increases RBC sedimentation rate and leukocytosis are present in a great deal of patients. In addition, the presence of risk factors related to the development of thrombosis of the lower limbs deep veins, and particularly those related to the long term immobilization as well as diagnostically confirmed venous thrombus are basic guidelines for the diagnostic of pulmonary thromboembolism.

[Massive hemoptysis as a rare complication in a patient with cystic fibrosis].

A female patient, 28 years old, with massive haemoptysis as a complication of cystic fibrosis, is described. Cystic fibrosis is a systemic disease with common pulmonary manifestations. Chronic inflammatory process causes the proliferation of bronchial arteries, and their erosion is followed by bleeding. Transitory haemoptysis is common in patients with cystic fibrosis, but massive haemoptysis is a rare complication of this disease.
