Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency caused by a novel mutation (p.Leu263Pro): Pi*ZQ0gaia – Q0gaia allele
Publication date: Available online 14 August 2015 Source:Revista Portuguesa de Pneumologia (English Edition) Author(s): M.J. Oliveira, S. Seixas, I. Ladeira, R. Monteiro, T. Shiang, M. Guimarães, R. Lima Severe alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is generally associated with PI*ZZ genotype and less often with combinations of PI*Z, PI*S, and other rarer deficiency or null (Q0) alleles. Severe AATD predisposes patients to various diseases, including pulmonary emphysema. Presented here is a case report of a young man with COPD and AATD. The investigation of the AATD showed a novel mutation p.Leu263Pro (c....

A case of massive hemoptysis related to a smoking-history: an acquired form of the Dieulafoy's disease?
We report a case of a woman with a smoking history who presented a recurrent and massive hemoptysis. A diagnostic study with laboratory tests, bronchoscopy, computed tomography and echocardiogram did not identify the etiological cause. However, bronchial arteriography showed right and left bronchial tortuous and dilated arteries and demonstrated that a bronchovascular fistula was the origin of the hemoptysis. An acquired form of the Dieulafoy's disease in this context of a smoking history might justify such findings. Bronchial arteriography as a diagnostic method should be the preferred choice rather than bronchoscopy in t...
