Lipoid pneumonia is an inflammatory infiltration of the lungs that develops due to inhalation or endogenous accumulation of lipid–containing substrates. Clinical manifestations include weakness, fever, chest pain, dyspnea, dry cough, hemoptysis. The pathological process is verified by radiography and CT of the lungs, bronchoscopy with BAL analysis, histology of biopsy material. To resolve pneumonia, corticosteroid…
Mediastinal lymphoma is a malignant type of tumor that develops from mediastinal lymph nodes. In most cases, mediastinal lymphoma is manifested by symptoms of compression of the chest cavity: cough, difficulty breathing and swallowing, chest pain; itching, night sweats are often noted. Mediastinal lymphoma is detected by radiography and CT, the diagnosis is confirmed after…
Pulmonary lymphoma is a malignant lymphoproliferative tumor of extranodal localization originating from lymphoid formations of the bronchopulmonary system. Disease clinic consists of nonspecific symptoms (blurred weakness, periodic subfebrility) and signs of respiratory tract damage (unproductive cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, etc.). The diagnosis is made on the basis of radiological data (radiography, CT, MSCT…
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is a disease that occurs as a result of tumor–like proliferation of smooth muscle fibers along the course of small bronchi, lymphatic and blood vessels, leading to cystic transformation of the pulmonary parenchyma and damage to the lymphatic system. It develops mainly in women of childbearing age. It is manifested by progressive shortness of…
Pulmonary heart disease is a pathology of the right parts of the heart, characterized by an increase (hypertrophy) and dilation (dilation) of the right atrium and ventricle, as well as circulatory insufficiency, developing due to hypertension of the small circulatory circle. The formation disease is facilitated by pathological processes of the bronchopulmonary system, lung vessels,…
Pulmonary hemorrhage is a dangerous complication of various respiratory diseases, accompanied by the outflow of blood from bronchial or pulmonary vessels and its release through the airways. Pulmonary bleeding is manifested by coughing with the release of liquid scarlet blood or clots, weakness, dizziness, hypotension, fainting. For diagnostic purposes, lung X-ray, tomography, bronchoscopy, bronchography, angiopulmonography,…
Pulmonary hypertension is a threatening pathological condition caused by a persistent increase in blood pressure in the vascular bed of the pulmonary artery. The increase in pulmonary hypertension is gradual, progressive in nature and ultimately causes the development of right ventricular heart failure, leading to the death of the patient. The most common pulmonary hypertension…
Pulmonary cryptococcosis is a severe respiratory mycosis that occurs mainly in patients with severe immune disorders infected with pathogenic yeast–like fungi of the genus Cryptococcus. The clinical course resembles pneumonia, manifested by cough, shortness of breath, fever, hemoptysis. In some cases, pulmonary cryptococcosis is asymptomatic. The disease is diagnosed with the help of radiography and…
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is one of the variants of interstitial lung disease, which is characterized by damage to the bronchioles, alveolar passages and alveoli. The reasons for its development are unknown. The disease is manifested by an unproductive cough, chest pain, shortness of breath and asthenic syndrome. The diagnosis of the disease is carried out…
Valvular pneumothorax is the ingress and increasing increase in the volume of air in the pleural cavity due to the development of a valve mechanism that passes air from the environment or lung into the pleural cavity and prevents its exit in the opposite direction. Disease is characterized by sharp pain in the chest, subcutaneous…
