[Surviving case of Legionella pneumonia showing a high level of serum KL-6 and complicated with rhabdomyolysis].

A 66-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with pyrexia up to 40 degrees C since one day after taking a public bath. Since multiple infiltrations on the lung were shown by chest radiography, severe pneumonia was diagnosed. Administration of antibiotics meropenem and erythromycin yielded no detected effect.

[A case of a slow-growing, non-mucin-producing bronchioloalveolar carcinoma with a 9-year clinical history before thoracoscopic surgery].

A 73-year-old woman was followed up with high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) from 2000 through 2002 because an area of ground-glass opacity in area S1 + 2 of the left upper lobe was found on HRCT in August 2000. The opacity was present on ordinary CT scans obtained in 1993, but had not been recognized. Thoracoscopic partial resection of the left lung was performed on October 8, 2002.
