Τhe Co-Existence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Bronchial Asthma: Revelation of a New Asthma Phenotype?

Bronchial asthma (BA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are common respiratory obstructive diseases that may coexist. It would be interesting to study the possible influence of that coexistence on both diseases. Until now, reviews focused mainly on epidemiology.

A fatal case of cytomegalovirus disease in an immunocompetent young woman: a case report.

Cytomegalovirus can cause severe disease with adverse outcome in immunocompromised patients. Severe cytomegalovirus infection in previously healthy individuals is rare. Here we present an unusual case of cytomegalovirus infection with neurological and pulmonary involvement in a previously healthy young woman with no history of immuno-suppression.

Pulmonary TB occasionally challenges physicians, either due to TB's ability to mimic many different conditions or because of the increasing number of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. Here we present a case of pulmonary TB with both characteristics and a brief review of the relevant literature.
