Cryobiopsy as a Diagnostic Tool in Lung Transplantation: A Case Report.

Lung transplantation is an option for patients with advanced lung pathologies. Transbronchial biopsies are routinely conducted during the first year to manage acute rejection episodes, with chronic rejection, particularly bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, becoming a significant concern thereafter. A 34-year-old patient with a diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia was admitted to the emergency room due to a severe exacerbation that caused mixed respiratory failure.

Suppurative Thyroiditis: Coinfection by Nocardia spp. and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in an Immunocompromised Patient.

Suppurative thyroiditis is a rare entity with a low incidence in thyroid diseases, manifesting with pain, fever, dysphagia, and dysphonia. Its infrequency is explained by the thyroid gland's resistance to infections due to its encapsulated position, high blood flow, bactericidal action of iodine, and extensive lymphatic network. We present the first report in the literature of a 72-year-old woman with a history of inflammatory myopathy and immunosuppression diagnosed with suppurative thyroiditis co-infected with Nocardia spp.

Nocardia in an Immunocompetent Patient Simulating Pulmonary Carcinoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infectious pathology of low incidence that usually affects the lungs, skin, and brain. It has been implicated in causing serious and potentially fatal infections without treatment. It affects immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients.
