Lung Cancer Mimicking Aspergilloma: A Case Report.

An aspergilloma is a conglomeration of  hyphae, fibrin, mucus, and cellular debris, typically found within a pulmonary cavity or ectatic bronchus. Computerized tomography (CT) scans often depict a cavity containing a solid mass and a notable crescent sign. Though these signs are indicative of aspergilloma, the European Respiratory Society emphasizes the need for a more detailed diagnostic criteria.

Primary intrapulmonary thymoma a case report.

Primary intrapulmonary thymoma (PIT), defined as the presence of thymoma tissue in the lung without an accompanying mediastinal component, is uncommon and so offers a diagnostic quandary. We describe the case of PIT in an 81-year-old man.

Characteristics and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients with pulmonary disorders: A single-center, retrospective observational study.

Introduction: Mortality rates and clinical characteristics of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) vary significantly.

Objectives: To describe the data of patients with pulmonary comorbidities who were admitted to the ICU with COVID-19 in Qatar in terms of demographic characteristics, coexisting conditions, imaging findings, and outcomes.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of the outcomes with regard to mortality and requirement of invasive ventilation, demographic characteristics, coexisting conditions, secondary infections, and imaging findings for critical care patients with COVID-19 in Qatar who had pulmonary comorbidities between March and June 2020.

Post-COVID-19 pneumonia pneumatoceles: a case report.

Introduction: Pneumatocele formation in COVID-19 pneumonia is arguably a common occurrence.

Case Presentation: We present a case of pneumatoceles, developing as a sequel of COVID-19 infection. We argue that pneumatocele formation in COVID-19 pneumonia is a common occurrence.

COVID-19: Prolonged viral shedding in an HIV patient with literature review of risk factors for prolonged viral shedding and its implications for isolation strategies.

Our work highlights patients at risk of prolonged viral shedding in COVID-19 and its implications for isolation strategies and explores possible solution by PCR-CT value testing (cycle threshold value). We also review the impact of HIV on COVID-19.

Pneumothorax In Covid-19 Pneumonia: A case series.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It mainly affects the lungs and common symptoms are fever, cough and shortness of breath. Pneumothorax has been noted to complicate Covid-19 cases requiring hospital admission, however the exact incidence and risk factors are still unknown.
