ASTHMA AWARENESS AND ATTITUDES IN INDIA: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF 1460 NEW ASTHMA PATIENTS AT TERTIARY CARE CENTER

Diabetes is associated with depressed immune status. There is increased susceptibility to usual pneumonia as well as to opportunistic organisms like Mucor which normally do not produce disease in immunocompetent individuals despite their ubiquitous presence in the environment. Isolated case reports have shown co‐infection with Mucor and tuberculosis. The situation is particularly challenging when mucor… Continue reading “Trilogy of sequential fungal infections in a diabetic male” ▪ Respirology Case Reports Volume 3, Issue 4, Article first published online: 18 NOV 2015

Lungs are target organs for toxic effects of various drugs due to many reasons. Diphenylhydantoin (DPH) is reported to have many extrapulmonary side effects. We are presenting a case of acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) secondary to DPH, presenting with respiratory failure. Acute HP with respiratory failure is an uncommon drug side effect of the DPH… Continue reading “Phenytoin-induced acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis” Lung India 2015 Nov-Dec; 32(6): 631–634.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a medical emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Regularly revised guidelines have proposed a systematic diagnostic and management protocol. Despite best recommendations, there are clinical situations where PE poses a clinical challenge in diagnosis and management. Clinical prediction scores, D-Dimer, computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA), lung scintigraphy, magnetic resonance (MR) angiography,… Continue reading “Endobronchial ultrasound: beyond nodes and masses” o Respirology Case Reports Volume 3, Issue 4, pages 141– 144, December 2015

Abstract Pleural effusion is a common disease entity in a country like India. A majority of the cases relate to Tuberculosis or Malignancy. Varied causes of Pleural effusion are reported in literature. Drug induced pleural effusion is a rare and important cause of pleural effusion. It is difficult to diagnose as there is no definitive… Continue reading Unusual Case of Pleural Effusion-Not Everything is Tuberculosis. EC Pulmonology and Respiratory Medicine 7.10 (2018): 741-743

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-based elastography is a noninvasive technology performed during EBUS, in which the relative stiffness of the tissues can be assessed as a color map, which can be used to differentiate the malignant from benign lesions.[1] This could guide the fine-needle aspirate site and could improve the diagnostic yields. There has been a paucity… Continue reading The Sonoelastographic Characters of non-complicated Bronchogenic Cyst: An Evaluation Using CP-EBUS

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), previously known as Wegener granulomatosis, is a lethal, uncommon multisystem autoimmune disorder of unknown etiology. Its pathognomonic features include necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and pauci-immune vasculitis in small and medium-sized vessel vessels.[1] Ocular manifestations occur in almost 8% cases. Of all ocular manifestations, bilateral central retinal artery occlusion is very rare. We… Continue reading “Rare case of granulomatosis with Polyangiitis, presenting with simultaneous bilateral acute central retinal artery occlusion and profound hearing loss” Journal of Association of chest Physicians,January2019;7:35-7
