Aortic pseudoaneurysm presenting as haemoptysis is a very rare clinical entity [1]. Case reports have shown that thoracic aortic aneurysm can rupture into adjacent structures such as trachea and bronchi, pericardial and pleural cavities, and even esophagus [2]. Aortic aneurysm can cause erosion of trachea or may rarely rupture into the lung, resulting in haemoptysis… Continue reading Hemoptysis: a rare presentation of aortic Pseudoaneurysm.

Background: We aim to evaluate the performance of Xpert MTB/RIF in Endobronchial Ultrasound guided needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) samples for rapid diagnosis of Tubercular Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy. Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with Mediastinal lymphadenopathy who underwent EBUS-guided TBNA and were diagnosed as Tuberculosis (TB) was done in the study period. The performance of a Xpert… Continue reading The utility of Xpert MTB/RIF in the diagnosis of Tubercular Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy by Endobronchial Ultrasound – R. Gupta, A. Bhatia, S. Joshi, N.

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a relatively newer technique useful in the mapping and guiding of the needle aspirates/biopsy of the mediastinal nodes and lesions. Sonoelastography attached to the latest-generation EBUS machines has enabled the mapping of the elasticity of the lymph nodes leading to better guidance while taking samples. We present the sonographic images and… Continue reading Joshi S, Gupta R, Bhatia A, Ali SJ. The Sonoelastographic Characters of Noncomplicated Bronchogenic Cyst: An Evaluation Using CP-EBUS.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto’s disease is an uncommon self limiting, benign cause of generalised lymphadenopathy with fever. It can present as a triad of fever, night sweats and lymphadenopathy which resembles more common causes like tuberculosis and lymphoma. Being an endemic country a patient may be treated on the lines of tuberculosis often. We present case of a… Continue reading Joshi S, Bhatia A, Tayal N, Gupta R, Tandon R.

Since the emergence of the novel corona virus in December 2019 in China, the virus has spread extensively in India as well. With increasing reach and number, this virus has become a global pandemic in no time. The common presenting signs and symptoms of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) are fever, dry cough, shortness of… Continue reading Hemoptysis as an Initial presentation of COVID19 – An Observation.

Pulmonary Embolism and Massive hemoptysis are two very potentially fatal emergencies in Respiratory medicine practice. These two conditions are kind of antagonizing conditions requiring completely different and pharmacologically opposite nature of treatment. We hereby present the case of a 37-year old young male presented to our Hospital with massive hemoptysis, who on evaluation also had… Continue reading Concurrent massive haemoptysis and acute pulmonary embolism: A therapeutic dilemma Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, Volume 32, 2021, 101337

Alveolar air leak comprising of pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and subcutaneous emphysema in the ongoing COVID 19 pneumonia have been increasingly reported in literature. These air leaks were also recognized in the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and H1N1 viral pandemics. Here we review the incidence and outcomes of alveolar air leaks… Continue reading Alveolar Air Leak Syndrome a Potential Complication of COVID-19-ARDS – Single Centre Retrospective Analysis.

Rapid urbanization, social and economic development, industrialization, dynamic age structure, and changing lifestyles bring India to a position of an increasing burden of noncommunicable diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The prevalence of COPD in India increased from 3.3% in 1990 to 4.2% in 2016. Of the disability-adjusted life years due to COPD in… Continue reading Changing dynamics of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases in India. Bhatia A., Joshi S.
