Sometimes pneumonia will become prolonged or recur, causing the need to consider additional investigations. Refractory or recurrent pneumonia in children may be caused by a structural, functional or immunological factor. Diseases of the lung tissue are rare. We describe a teenage boy, whose recurrent pneumonia revealed an underlying malignant disease, mucoepidermioid carcinoma.

Objective: Since COVID-19 infections are more common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, most recent research has focused on the outcome of COVID-19, with fewer studies on disease activity in SLE. This research aims to evaluate flares in SLE with COVID-19 infection while investigating predictive factors.
Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information on patients with previously diagnosed SLE from multi-center.

Intensive Care Unit, Zhongshan City People's Hospital, Zhongshan City, China.
Background: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) evaluates lung function by providing continuous, real-time monitoring of regional lung ventilation distribution to guide the restoration of lung ventilation. Patients with obesity who are dependent on mechanical ventilation often struggle with weaning. This case report highlights the potential of EIT to guide the weaning of ventilator-dependent patients in an obese patient with severe pneumonia.
