Organizing pneumonia secondary to Pneumocystis jirovecii infection in a kidney transplant recipient: Case report and review of literature
Rakesh Kodati, Anuradha Tadepalli, Chandana Reddy, Rajasekhara Chakravarthi, Girish Kumthekar, Ravindranath TagoreLung India 2020 37(5):441-444
Organizing pneumonia (OP), previously known as bronchiolitis obliterans OP, is a diffuse parenchymal lung disease affecting the distal bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveolar walls. Pulmonary infections, especially bacterial and viral diseases, are known to be associated with the secondary form of OP. OP secondary to fungal infections is less common. Here, we report a case of OP associated with pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in a kidney transplant recipient on tacrolimus-based tri...

A red herring, a wild-goose chase, and an unexpected diagnosis of concomitant malignancy and sarcoidosis
Ponnuthurai Bala, Padmanabhan Arjun, Liju Varghese, SR Sudin, Sandeep Pillai, Cherian Thampy, Shaji Palangadan, KA BijiLung India 2020 37(5):437-440
A 49-year-old male was evaluated in our hospital for chronic cough, cervical lymphadenopathy, and a testicular mass. As a part of the management, he underwent a cervical lymph node biopsy, which showed metastatic deposits from papillary carcinoma thyroid. Subsequently, he underwent orchidectomy for suspected testicular malignancy, but the biopsy showed discrete granulomatous inflammation consistent with sarcoidosis. This was followed by total thyroidectomy with neck node diss...

Rosai–Dorfman disease, also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is a rare and benign disease that usually presents as massive and painless cervical lymphadenopathy. We are reporting this rare disease with systemic manifestations and causing internal jugular vein thrombosis and middle lobe collapse-consolidation. (Source: Lung India)

Catch the rainbow: Prognostic factor of sarcoidosis
Senol KobakLung India 2020 37(5):425-432
Sarcoidosis is a systemic, chronic, inflammatory disease characterized by noncaseating granuloma formations. The fact that the etiopathogenesis of the disease has not been elucidated yet brings it many theories and assumptions. Being a systemic disease and ability to involve many organs and systems, it attracts the attention of physicians from different branches. In addition to lung involvement, skin, eye, heart, and locomotor system involvement is an important clinical finding. Sarcoidosis may present with very different clinical presentations, and therefore, it is one of the impo...

Transthoracic ultrasonography in patients with interstitial lung disease
Conclusion: TUS seems to be a useful imaging method for the diagnosis of ILD. It can be used to estimate the severity of ILD. It is simple, bedside, cost-effective, and radiation-free. It may be especially useful in the follow up of patients in low resource settings, pregnant females, and bed-ridden or unstable patients who cannot be shifted to radiology suite. (Source: Lung India)

Comparison of fractional exhaled nitric oxide, spirometry, and Asthma Control Test, in predicting asthma exacerbations: A prospective cohort study
Conclusions: In our study, FEV1% and ACT score could predict exacerbations of asthma whereas FeNO could not. FeNO level correlated inversely with ACT score. FeNO level decreased with inhaled corticosteroid usage. (Source: Lung India)
