Peculiarities in the development and course of purulent complications in patients with acute pneumonia require a differentiated approach to therapy. The control of clinicoroentgenological stages of the abscess formation of pneumonia taking account of the peculiarities of a purulent process in each patient permits one to resort to differentiated therapy and to plan therapeutic measures until a complete cure of a patient. Effective treatment of a patient with lung suppuration is based on the suppression of purulent infection by massive antibiotics therapy combined with measures aimed at enhancing the defence activity of the body. Of paramount importance at the final stage of therapy is stimulation of reparative processes in the zone of destruction with physical therapeutic factors. Physiotherapy employed in combination with therapeutic measures raises the recurrences and change into a chronic state. Patients after pulmonary abscess formation should be followed up for 1.5-2 yrs.

Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are central regulators of gene expression in response to oxygen deprivation, a common feature in critical illnesses. The significant burden that critical illnesses place on global healthcare systems highlights the need for a deeper understanding of underlying mechanisms and the development of innovative treatment strategies. Among critical illnesses, impaired lung function is frequently linked to hypoxic conditions.

Background: Clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) is a rare subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myositis often linked with the presence of autoantibodies targeting melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5). Patients with CADM are at increased risk of developing rapidly progressing interstitial lung disease, which significantly increases both morbidity and mortality compared to other forms of inflammatory myopathies. While there is no standardized treatment regimen, current therapeutic strategies are generally focused on combination immunosuppressive therapies.

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), is characterized by systemic uncontrolled inflammation resulting from immune dysregulation secondary to various triggers, including genetics, infections, autoimmune diseases, and malignancies. Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is an immune dysregulation phenomenon, in which an underlying rheumatological disease is present. We report a rare, interesting case of a middle-aged female, with a systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flare complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), in which tuberculous meningitis (TBM) was the identified trigger.

Background: The prevalence of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant pathogens has led to increased reliance on broad-spectrum antimicrobials, such as tigecycline. This medicine is commonly used to treat complicated skin and intraabdominal infections as well as community-acquired pneumonia. However, the increasing use of tigecycline has been linked to serious complications, including acute pancreatitis.

Pulmonary mucormycosis is a rapidly progressive and highly morbid disease commonly found in immunosuppressed patients. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are essential, with thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery techniques previously described for surgical resection of infected lobes. Here we present the case of a patient with acute myeloid leukemia and nonresolving pneumonia treated with robotic left upper lobectomy.
