The physical exam showed diffuse rales in both hemithoraces. Initial leukogram showe

26. Infection with the Mycobacterium avium complex in patients without predisposing conditons: a case report and literature review
Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM), especially Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC), has been considered responsible for human disease, especially in HIV patients. Nevertheless, it has been diagnosed in immunocompetent elderly men, frequently with previous pulmonary disease: chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), complications of tuberculosis, p

27. Neutrophil transepithelial migration: role of toll-like receptors in mucosal inflammation
The symptomatic phases of many inflammatory diseases are characterized by migration of large numbers of neutrophils (PMN) across a polarized epithelium and accumulation within a lumen. For example, acute PMN influx is common in diseases of the gastrointestinal system (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, bacterial enterocolitis, gastritis), hepatobiliary sys

28. Microbiology profile and severity markers in CF patients / Perfil microbiologico e indicadores de gravidade em pacientes com fibrose cistica
Objective: To identify the prevalence of organisms in sputum from patients with CF and determine the correlations among the severity markers of disease: Schwachman score, Bhalla score, nutritional status and lung function. Methods: Prospective study (2001-04) performed at the State University of Campinas Medical School.Unicamp. The secretions were obtained f

29. Interpretation of bronchograms and chest radiographs in patients with chronic sputum production.
Bronchograms and plain chest radiographs of 27 patients with chronic sputum production were reported separately in random order and independently by two pulmonary radiologists to establish the diagnostic rate of each investigation and to assess interobserver variation. Both radiologists agreed on the presence of bronchiectasis on bronchography in 19 of 27 (7

30. Impaired tracheobronchial clearance in bronchiectasis.
Tracheobronchial clearance was measured by a radioaerosol technique in 12 patients with bronchiectasis, seven patients with chronic obstructive lung disease expectorating mucoid sputum daily (group X), eight patients with chronic obstructive lung disease but negligible sputum expectoration (group Y), and 10 healthy subjects. The patients with bronchiectasis

31. Left pneumonectomy and middle lobectomy for bronchiectasis
Kürklü, E. U., and le Roux, B. T. (1973). Thorax, 28, 535-536. Left pneumonectomy and middle lobectomy for bronchiectasis. Left pneumonectomy and middle lobectomy were undertaken in a child for bilateral bronchiectasis of this extent. The thoracic surgeon who works among a large community medically ill served and among whom respiratory disease is common is

32. Assessment of bronchiectasis by computed tomography.
Computed tomography and bronchography were used to assess the distribution of bronchiectasis in 15 lungs from eight patients with clinical features of the disease. Of the 36 lobes adequately displayed by bronchography, 22 were found to have bronchiectasis and 14 were found to be normal by both techniques. Cystic disease was readily identified by computed tom

33. Prevalence of asthma, atopy, and bronchial hyperreactivity in bronchiectasis: a controlled study.
The prevalence of atopic diseases and bronchial reactivity to histamine and methacholine was determined in 36 patients with bronchiectasis and in 36 control patients matched for age, sex, and smoking history. There was no difference in the prevalence of asthma, other atopic diseases, family history of atopic diseases, or positive responses to skinprick tests

34. Nasal mucociliary clearance and ciliary beat frequency in cystic fibrosis compared with sinusitis and bronchiectasis.
Nasal ciliary function and mucociliary clearance were studied in patients with cystic fibrosis and in three control groups. Ciliary beat frequency and nasal clearance time were measured in groups of 10 subjects with cystic fibrosis, sinusitis and bronchiectasis and age and sex-matched control subjects. Ciliary beat frequency was also measured in normal subje

35. Bronchiolitis obliterans, bronchiectasis, and other sequelae of adenovirus type 21 infection in young children
A remarkably high incidence of bronchiectasis and other pulmonary sequelae was observed in young children affected during an epidemic of severe lower respiratory tract infections apparently caused by adenovirus type 21. The histopathological findings are described in four cases in which one or both lungs were obtained for examination at intervals ranging fro

36. Chronic sputum production: correlations between clinical features and findings on high resolution computed tomographic scanning of the chest.
BACKGROUND: There are few published data on the correlation between the clinical findings in subjects with chronic sputum production and the appearances on high resolution computed tomographic (HRCT) scans of the chest. METHODS: HRCT scanning of the chest was performed on 40 subjects with chronic sputum production. Three readers independently reported the sc
