[Tissue damage and immunological responses in acute bronchopulmonary infections].

The appearance of a clinical infectious disease in the lung is determined by the success or failure of pulmonary defense mechanisms. This review highlights several components of the normal respiratory host defenses: the mechanical barriers, the immunoglobulins IgG and IgA, and the interaction of the alveolar macrophages and lymphocytes. For optimal clearance, not only must effectors cells, responder cells, and mediators be present, but their action must be integrated.

[Cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (author's transl)].

Four cases of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation are presented. The age of the patients ranged from 1 day to 7 years. All cases were treated surgically and 3 of them survived. The only death in the group corresponded to the neonatal case. The clinical, radiological and patological features of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation are also reviewed. Occasionally the clinical manifestations will be hardly noticeable or non existent and the malformation may be diagnosed beyond the neonatal period in the course of a radiological examination performed as routine or because of repeated respiratory infections. Surgery is the treatment of choice. In the group of neonates where the cystic adenomatoid malformation doesn't cause respiratory difficulty the authors feel that it might be advisable to postpone surgery until a later date.
