Not all that Wheezes is Asthma.

We want to highlight the presentation of a 75-year-old female who was initially managed as asthma and subsequently diagnosed with concurrent excessive dynamic airway collapse (EDAC).

Oesophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis presenting as non-resolving pneumonia: A sinister cause diagnosed by EUS-B-FNA.

We report a case of an oesophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis leading to a mediastinal collection caused by presenting as a non-resolving pneumonia and mimicking an oesophageal mass. The patient was a 60-year-old diabetic male who was referred from another hospital and presented with a history of low-grade fever and breathlessness. His computed tomography (CT) of the chest disclosed a mediastinal mass alongside the oesophagus with pleural collection.

Alveolar Air Leak Syndrome a Potential Complication of COVID- 19-ARDS - Single Center Retrospective Analysis.

Background: Alveolar air leak comprising of pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and subcutaneous emphysema in the ongoing COVID 19 pneumonia have been increasingly reported in literature. These air leaks were also recognized in the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and H1N1 viral pandemics. Here we review the incidence and outcomes of alveolar air leaks over 400 patients admitted to our tertiary care institution for moderate-severe COVID-19 pneumonia.

Concurrent massive hemoptysis and acute pulmonary embolism: A therapeutic dilemma.

Pulmonary Embolism and Massive hemoptysis are two very potentially fatal emergencies in Respiratory medicine practice. These two conditions are kind of antagonizing conditions requiring completely different and pharmacologically opposite nature of treatment. We hereby present the case of a 37-year old young male presented to our Hospital with massive hemoptysis, who on evaluation also had a concurrent large pulmonary embolism.

Necrotizing lymphadenitis: Not always tuberculosis, its Kikuchi-Fujimoto's disease.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto's disease is an uncommon self limiting, benign cause of generalised lymphadenopathy with fever. It can present as a triad of fever, night sweats and lymphadenopathy which resembles more common causes like tuberculosis and lymphoma. Being an endemic country a patient may be treated on the lines of tuberculosis often.
