25. Recurrent hemoptysis with Penicillium marneffei and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in Job’s syndrome
Pulmonary infection caused by the opportunistic organisms Penicillium marneffei and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in patients with Job’s syndrome is rare and not well documented. The case of a 30-year-old man with Job’s syndrome who developed recurrent pneumonia and lung abscesses caused by P marneffei and S maltophilia, complicated by massive hemoptysis,

30. Pneumonia caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia with a mucoid phenotype.
We describe the first known case of pneumonia caused by a mucoid Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (Xanthomonas maltophilia) strain in a patient with bronchiectasis. The patient was admitted because of mild hemoptysis and productive cough with infiltrative shadow in the right lower lung field on chest X ray. The clinical symptoms were mild, and treatment with min

31. Clove cigarettes. The basis for concern regarding health effects.
The smoking of clove cigarettes has been associated with 13 cases of serious illness in the United States, including hemorrhagic pulmonary edema, pneumonia, bronchitis, and hemoptysis. We describe a patient in whom, after she smoked a clove cigarette, pneumonia complicated by lung abscess developed. Her lung disease may have been caused by aspiration pneumon

32. Unusual Symptom in Patient with Pseudoaneurysm of the Left Ventricle and Review of the Literature
A case of pseudoaneurysm developing 2 years after left ventricular aneurysmectomy and single coronary artery bypass graft is reported. A hypothesis that pseudoaneurysms developing after transmyocardial incision begin in surgery or shortly thereafter is postulated. Chest X-ray films as a preliminary test to direct attention to the diagnosis are recommended. A

33. Pulmonary paragonimiasis in Southeast Asians living in the central San Joaquin Valley.
We describe four cases of pulmonary paragonimiasis in Southeast Asians who emigrated to the central San Joaquin Valley of California. Physicians should be alerted to the possibility of this disease in Asian patients with hemoptysis and pulmonary infiltrates. Paragonimiasis can masquerade as pulmonary tuberculosis, especially in patients from areas that are e

34. Plasmapheresis in Clinical Medicine
Large-volume plasma exchange can now be rapidly and safely done using cell separator technology. Significant depletion of immunoglobulins and immune complexes can be achieved by repeated intensive plasmapheresis, but sustained depletion of these constituents requires concomitant immunosuppressive therapy. Plasmapheresis appears to work in some disorders by r

35. The Role of Percutaneous Lung Biopsy in the Workup of a Solitary Pulmonary Nodule
As the technique of percutaneous lung biopsy continues to evolve, it offers an increasingly accurate method of establishing the malignancy or benignity of a solitary pulmonary nodule. There are relatively few contraindications to the procedure, and the complications—primarily pneumothorax and hemoptysis—generally resolve without therapy. Transthoracic ne

36. Aortobronchial fistula secondary to chronic post-traumatic thoracic aneurysm.
A few patients with traumatic aortic laceration remain undiagnosed and survive long enough to develop a chronic aneurysm. Such aneurysms are frequently asymptomatic; alternatively, they may manifest themselves in the form of chest pain, dysphonia, dysphagia, bronchial irritation, or sudden death. A case of aortobronchial fistula secondary to a chronic post-t
