Organizing pneumonia associated with M ycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

ABSTRACT: Organizing pneumonia is an inflammatory lung disease involving the distal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, bronchiolar ducts, and alveoli. A number of viral and bacterial organisms have been identified as causative agents of organizing pneumonia. However, M ycobacterium tuberculosis has rarely been reported as a causative agent. Herein, we report our experience with two patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, whose biopsies showed patterns associated with organizing pneumonia. Both patients showed positive results for bacteriological tests and presence of acid fast bacilli. Hence, we could successfully treat both patients with anti-tuberculosis medications. Our report suggests that M . tuberculosis infection could be added to the list of infectious conditions associated with organizing pneumonia.

Organizing pneumonia associated with multicentric reticulohistiocytosis.

Project description:Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a clinicopathological entity that occurs idiopathically or in association with several conditions such as connective tissue diseases. Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis (MRH) is a systemic disease characterized by polyarthritis and mucocutaneous lesions, but lung involvement is uncommon. We report a patient with MRH associated with OP. This case may be of interest when considering the pathophysiological mechanisms of both diseases.

Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia in Swine associated with porcine circovirus type 2 infection.

Project description:Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a chronic respiratory disease. Although the pathogenesis of BOOP is still incompletely understood, BOOP is responsive to steroids and has a good prognosis. In our five pigs with chronic postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), typical BOOP lesions were revealed. All five porcine lungs showed typical intraluminal plugs, and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) was identified. They also exhibited similar pathologic findings such as proliferation of type II pneumocytes and myofibroblasts (MFBs), extracellular collagen matrix (ECM) deposition, and fragmentation of elastic fibers. MFBs migration correlative molecules, for instance, gelatinase A, B and osteopontin, appeared strongly in the progressing marginal area of polypoid intraluminal plugs of fibrotic lesion. These molecules colocalized with the active MFBs. Both gelatinase activity and intercellular level of active MFBs were significantly increased (P < .05). Porcine chronic bronchopneumonia leads to BOOP and it is associated with PCV2 persistent infection. Swine BOOP demonstrates similar cellular constituents with human BOOP. Perhaps their molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis operate in a similar way. Thus we infer that the swine BOOP can be considered as a potential animal model for human BOOP associated with natural viral infection. Moreover, it is more convenient to obtain samples.

Organizing pneumonia associated with myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody.

Project description:Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a clinicopathological entity that occurs idiopathically or in association with several conditions, but there are few reports about myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-associated OP. We describe a patient with OP whose clinical conditions improved spontaneously. Moreover, serum MPO-ANCA titers paralleled the clinical activity of the disease, which disappeared in association with disease quiescence. Based on these findings, a subset of patients may have OP related to MPO-ANCA. ANCA testing should be considered in the work-up of patients with suspected OP.

Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy in idiopathic acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia.

Project description:A 53-year-old Japanese female was admitted to our hospital with 3-week history of cough and worsening dyspnea. Chest computed tomography revealed unilateral focal consolidation in the right lower lobe. She underwent transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) and histology showed acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP). High-dose methylprednisolone treatment improved her respiratory condition and radiological findings. AFOP is a rare histologic interstitial pneumonia pattern and has been diagnosed by surgical lung biopsy or autopsy in most cases. To our knowledge, this is the first detailed report of AFOP diagnosed by TBLC. TBLC can be performed safely with less invasion and be a useful diagnostic technique for rapidly progressive diffuse lung disease such as AFOP.

Oxaliplatin-induced bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia following hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Project description:Oxaliplatin given systemically is associated with pneumonitis in less than 1% of cases. This case report describes acute respiratory failure, due to bronchiolitis organising pneumonia, in a patient with colorectal carcinoma being treated with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy which included oxaliplatin and CPT-11 (irinotecan). The clinical course, the lack of an identifiable infectious agent and the complete response to corticosteroids suggested a drug-induced cause. After ruling out CPT-11, oxaliplatin was considered to be the causal agent. The unusual feature of this case was that pneumonitis developed after intraperitoneal administration of oxaliplatin. Oxaliplatin-associated respiratory complications can occur whatever route the drug is administered.

Secondary organizing pneumonia following viral pneumonia caused by severe influenza B: a case report and literature reviews.

Project description:Some reported that organizing pneumonia (OP) may occur after influenza A infections including swine-origin influenza A (H1N1). However, OP associated with influenza B infection has never been reported. We report the first case of secondary OP associated with viral pneumonia caused by influenza B.A 23-year old woman was diagnosed as viral pneumonia caused by type B influenza. Despite of antiviral therapy, abnormal chest shadows were not improved. Bronchoscopy and transbronchial lung biopsy showed organizing pneumonia due to viral pneumonia caused by influenza B. Corticosteroid therapy was started at 30 mg daily (0.5 mg/kg), and the dose was reduced to 25, 20, 15 or 10 mg per day every month with symptomatic and radiological resolution. Even after corticosteroid therapy was discontinued, we did not confirm disease recurrence.Physicians should be aware of the possibility for SOP and severe viral pneumonia even in case of type B as well as type A influenza infections.
