AI Article Synopsis
- This case report discusses a rare condition called exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP), which happens when lipid substances are inhaled, leading to inflammation in the lungs.
- The patient was an 83-year-old woman who used paraffin oil as a mouthwash over a long period, which contributed to her condition.
- Diagnosis of ELP was confirmed through her medical history, specific imaging results, and tissue analysis.
Article Abstract
Introduction: This case report describes a case of exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) resulting from the inhalation of a lipoid substance. Lipoid pneumonia, also known as cholesterol pneumonia or golden pneumonia, is an uncommon inflammatory lung disease characterized by the presence of lipid-laden macrophages in the alveolar walls and lung interstitial tissue. Exogenous lipoid pneumonia occurs when substances containing lipids enter the airways through aspiration or inhalation, triggering an inflammatory response.
Case Report: The patient in this case study was an 83-year-old woman with hypertension and diabetes mellitus who had been using paraffin oil as a mouthwash for an extended period. The diagnosis of exogenous lipoid pneumonia was established based on the patient's history of exposure to liquid paraffin oil, typical radiological findings, and histopathological examination.

A novel molecular design based on a quinazolinone scaffold was developed the attachment of aryl alkanesulfonates to the quinazolinone core through a thioacetohydrazide azomethine linker, leading to a new series of quinazolinone-alkanesulfonates 5a-r. The antimicrobial properties of the newly synthesized quinazolinone derivatives 5a-r were investigated to examine their bactericidal and fungicidal activities against bacterial pathogens like , (Gram-positive), , , (Gram-negative), in addition to (unicellular fungal). The tested compounds demonstrated reasonable bactericidal activities compared to standard drugs.

The mortality rate from community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) or coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is high, especially in hospitalized patients. This study aimed to assess the disturbances of glucose and lipid metabolism with in-hospital complications and short-term outcomes for patients with pneumonia with different etiologies. This observational study comprised 398 patients divided as follows: 155 with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia, 129 participants with viral CAP, and 114 with bacterial pneumonia.
