“…(2) The case presented shows the diagnostic approach to a suspected case of low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma causing recurrent pneumonia in a single lung lobe of a young patient with a history of recurrent pulmonary infections caused. Mucoepidermoid carcinomas are rare primary lung neoplasms, (6)(7)(8) located in the main bronchi, trachea, or, more commonly, in segmental bronchi.…”

“…The cause should be initially approached when the infectious process in the lung parenchyma is located radiologically since the diagnostic evaluation is quite distinct between one situation and another. (2) The involvement of multiple lung lobes is generally caused by immunological, metabolic or neurological abnormalities, whereas the involvement of a single lobe or lung segment may suggest intraluminal obstruction by a foreign body or bronchial tumor, extraluminal compression caused by infectious or noninfectious lymphadenopathy, or even structural alterations, such as tracheal bronchus, stenosis or bronchial atresia, as well as bronchomalacia, localized bronchiectasis or other causes. (4)(5) The chest X-ray is extremely important in all suspected cases of recurrent pneumonia since it allows the diagnostician to differentiate between recurrent and persistent pulmonary infiltrates.…”

“…Noteworthy among the least frequent causes are endobronchial tumors, which are pedunculated and can cause intermittent obstruction of the airways, resulting in accumulation of secretion as well as in infection. (2) The objective of this study was to report a rare cause of recurrent pneumonia in a young patient, a low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma.…”

Recurrent pneumonia may be defined as two episodes of pneumonia in a single year, or as three or more episodes in any given period.(1) The diagnosis should be established upon clinical remission and confirmation of complete radiological resolution between two episodes of infection.The etiology of recurrent pneumonia is varied and includes endobronchial obstruction, extrinsic compression of airways and structural abnormalities, ABSTRACTRecurrent pneumonia is characterized by frequent infection and infiltrates in one or more lung lobes. The localized form of the disease is caused by intraluminal obstruction, extrinsic compression or structural abnormalities. The pattern, frequency and severity of the infections, together with a thorough review of all chest X-rays, inform the diagnosis. Herein, we report a case of recurrent pneumonia due to endobronchial obstruction by mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

“…Therefore, the combination of above mentioned symptoms is indication to perform sweat test with the following genetic analysis. RRI can be also the sign of repeated aspiration of gastric content in GER, swallow dysfunction, under-diagnosed bronchial asthma or immotile cilia syndrome (Vaughan & Katkin, 2002). Recurrent otitis media is associated with Eustachian tube dysfunction secondary to atopy (Ghezzi et al, 2011).…”

ObjectivesPorous lesions of the orbit (cribra orbitalia [CO]) and cranial vault (porotic hyperostosis [PH]) are used as skeletal indicators of childhood stress. Because they are understudied in contemporary populations, their relationship to disease experience is poorly understood. This paper examines the relationship between length of childhood illness and CO/PH formation in a clinically documented sample. “Turning points,” which identify the window for lesion formation for CO/PH, are defined, implications for hidden heterogeneity in frailty are considered.MethodsData are from 333 (199 males; 134 females) pediatric postmortem computed tomography scans. Individuals died in New Mexico (2011–2019) and are 0.5 to 15.99 years (mean = 7.1). Length of illness was estimated using information from autopsy and field reports. Logistic regression was used to estimate predicted probabilities, odds ratios, and the temporal window for lesion formation.ResultsIllness, single bouts, or cumulative episodes lasting over 1 month is associated with higher odds of CO; individuals who were never sick have lower odds of having PH. This relationship was consistent for fatal and incidental illnesses that did not cause death. The developmental window for CO formation appears to close at 8 years.ConclusionsThose ill for over 1 month are more likely to have CO/PH than those with acute illnesses. Some individuals lived sufficiently long to form CO/PH but died of illness. Others with lesions died of circumstances unrelated to disease. This indicates hidden variation in robusticity even among ill individuals with CO/PH, which is vital in interpreting lesion frequencies in the archeological record.
