Think twice - Diagnostic delay in a patient with acute chest pain.

Heart involvement is the most critical and potentially lethal systemic manifestation in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). We present a case of acute chest pain in a 58-year-old male with severe asthma, which regressed after sublingual administration of nitroglycerine. At the time of hospital admission, there were non-specific ST-changes on the ecg, coronary enzymes were increased, and the patient was concluded to have a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and treated as such.

Lung function after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children: a longitudinal study in a population-based cohort.

Reduction in pulmonary function (PF) has been reported in up to 85% of pediatric patients during the first year after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Our understanding of the etiology for this decrease in lung function is, however, sparse. The aim of this study was to describe PF during follow-up in a population-based pediatric HSCT cohort and to investigate factors in the transplantation process associated with PF decline.
