Pulmonary tuberculosis presenting as fever without source in a pediatric patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

13 Dec 2009 Children who undergo treatment for malignancies are at high for infection with both typical and opportunistic pathogens. Fever in these children prompts extensive evaluation and empiric treatment with broad-spectrum antimicrobials. In the United ... Read more...

Bronchial flap closure of the right lower lobe bronchus.

30 Oct 2009 We describe a novel method for closure of the bronchus intermedius, after right lower lobectomy, using a flap derived from the lower lobe apical segmental bronchus. We have successfully used this technique in an endobronchial carcinoid tumor ... Read more...

Successful treatment of infected residual pleural space after pulmonary resection with autologous platelet-leukocyte gel.

30 Oct 2009 Complications of the residual pleural space after pulmonary resection have been reported to be between 5% and 40% depending on the type of resection, and they increase morbidity, mortality, hospital stays, and costs. The therapeutic use of ... Read more...
