Article Synopsis
- A 58-year-old female patient with a history of smoking and exposure to respiratory toxins was hospitalized due to moderate right pleural effusion and respiratory symptoms like dyspnea and chest pain.
- Her condition was complicated by persistent febrile symptoms and was resistant to standard treatments, prompting further investigation.
- The case highlights the complexity of diagnosing pleural effusion, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and diagnostic tests such as pleural biopsy to confirm malignant pleural mesothelioma.
We report the case of a 45-year-old male patient, a smoker, with a known condition of situs inversus totalis (SIT), who was diagnosed with an alveolar consolidation process during a chest imaging examination. Thorough medical investigations, including a surgical lung biopsy, resulted in the diagnosis of pulmonary infarction. The patient's clinical picture began suddenly, with chest pain of a stabbing character on the left side, inspiratory dyspnea, one episode of hemoptysis, fever (40°C), chills, and profuse sweating.

This study used four Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS) to assess the status of persons affected by drug-susceptible and drug-resistant TB during their TB treatment or after treatment completion, in Romania, the highest TB burden country in the EU.
Methods: People affected by TB in two different regions in Romania were included during and after treatment, following a cross-sectional design.
Background: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are validated and standardized tools that complement physician evaluations and guide treatment decisions. They are crucial for monitoring atopic dermatitis (AD) and chronic urticaria (CU) in clinical practice, but there are unmet needs and knowledge gaps regarding their use in clinical practice.
Objecctive: We investigated the global real-world use of AD and CU PROMs in allergology and dermatology clinics as well as their associated local and regional networks.
