Infliximab-Induced Interstitial Pneumonitis: A Case Report.

Anti-tumor necrosis factor inhibitors are increasingly being recommended to treat and control a wide range of diseases, including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid, and psoriatic arthritis. Serious pulmonary consequences, ranging from infectious disease to pulmonary edema, airway involvement, and even interstitial lung disease, are well-known multisystemic side effects. Interstitial lung disease is a well-known but uncommon condition.

Hypoventilation Syndrome Secondary to Club-Shaped Chest Wall Deformity.

Hypoventilation syndrome is defined as a decrease in alveolar ventilation leading to hypercapnia (PaCO > 35-45 mmHg) and hypoxemia. There are multiple causes of hypoventilation syndrome described in the literature, of which central and obesity-related causes are more prevalent. Other causes such as neuromuscular disorders and chest wall deformities are relatively less common.
