Unilateral Lung Infiltrate. Lipoid pneumonia
The European respiratory journal, 1991Co-Authors: Kalpalatha K. Guntupalli, P B FrancisAbstract:A case of unilateral lipoid pneumonia, proven by alveolar lavage and transbronchial Lung biopsy, is presented. Following a stroke, which resulted in difficulty in swallowing, the patient slept only on his right side accounting for the unilateral Lung Infiltrate. He had been taking mineral oil for several years accounting for the lipoid pneumonia.

A persistent unilateral Lung Infiltrate
The European respiratory journal, 1994Co-Authors: G Tits, Johny Verschakelen, Marc DecramerAbstract:We describe the case of an intrabronchial aspirated foreign body that caused a persistent right lower lobe Infiltrate. A first fibreoptic bronchoscopy demonstrated a mass with tumour-like appearance in the right bronchus intermedias, but the bronchial biopsies and the cytological smears of the bronchial aspirate failed to reveal any malignancy. During a control fibreoptic bronchoscopy, we found a chicken bone in this friable granulation tissue. It was subsequently removed with a flexible bronchofibrescope and a four-pronged forceps under topical anaesthesia.

A patient with bronchiectasis presented with progressive dyspnoea and an unresolved right lower Lung Infiltrate
Thorax, 2008Co-Authors: Pei-ying Lin, Ming Yao, Li-na Lee, Pan-chyr YangAbstract:A 71-year-old female non-smoker had bronchiectasis with productive cough for decades. Two months prior to this admission, she developed dyspnoea on exertion with more severe cough than before. There was no associated fever, night sweats, poor appetite or weight loss. Chest radiography displayed diffuse bronchiectatic changes on the bilateral airways, with multiple ill defined Infiltrates and …

Pseudallescheria boydii or Aspergillus fumigatus in a lady with an unresolving Lung Infiltrate, and a literature review.
Respirology, 2008Co-Authors: Ming‐wai MaAbstract:Abstract: A 53-year-old lady with blood-stained sputum and pleuritic pain had a lingular opacity on CXR which failed to resolve. A bronchial aspirate and transbronchial biopsy revealed features of bronchocentric granulomatosis with dichotomous branching hyphae suggestive of Aspergillus infection. However, subsequent fungal culture grew Pseudallescheria boydii. This case demonstrates the similarity of clinical and histological features caused by these two fungi. This appears to be the first reported case of pulmonary pseudallescheria with a bronchocentric granulomatous response.
