A case of miliary pulmonary neuroblastoma is described which occurred 8 months after autologous bone marrow transplantation for Stage IV neuroblastoma. The patient, a 4-year-old boy had pulmonary symptoms at this time. Disseminated metastatic disease was found, but there was no tumor at the primary site. This unusual pattern of relapse suggests that the patient's disseminated disease was related to infusion of malignant cells at the time of transplantation.

Introduction: Candida albicans infection shows a wide range of patterns on chest computed tomography, including ground glass opacities and consolidation, with the miliary pattern being the least frequent. The miliary pattern is not exclusive to tuberculosis. Fungal lung infections are rare and potentially fatal.

Article Synopsis
- - Military tuberculosis (MT) is a severe and potentially life-threatening form of tuberculosis characterized by widespread infection throughout the body caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis entering the bloodstream or lymphatics.
- - Diagnosing MT is challenging because it often presents with vague symptoms and physical examination findings that can confuse even experienced doctors, while bacteriological evidence is frequently absent.
- - The prognosis for MT depends heavily on how early the disease is diagnosed and treated, emphasizing the importance of prompt medical intervention, especially in vulnerable populations like children, young adults, and those with HIV.

Background: Histoplasma is a fungal pathogen found in many parts of the world. In North America, its distribution is traditionally thought to be endemic to the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys. Development of histoplasmosis after Histoplasma exposure is related to degree of inoculum exposure and susceptibility, for example, immunocompromised status.
