Cervical tubercular lymphadenitis accompanying with pulmonary tuberculosis – a case report

Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the major public health problems worldwide. TB is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It typically affects the lungs (pulmonary tuberculosis), but may also occur in other sites (extrapulmonary tuberculosis). Cervical tubercular lymphadenitis is one of the most common localizations of extrapulmonary tuberculosis [1,2]. We present a case of a 57-year old man with a history of 3-month weakness and swollen, bilaterally inflamed cervical lymph nodes. Cervical tubercular lymphadenitis accompanying with pulmonary tuberculosis was diagnosed. Moreover, we carry out the differential diagnosis of the cervical lymphadenopathy

Tracheopbronchopatia osteochondroplastica – a case presentation

Narrowing of the lower respiratory tract is a rare pathology. It may be associated with pathologies of the primary respiratory system or connective tissue diseases (systemic scleroderma, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, relapsing polychondritis). It can lead to non-specific clinical symptoms. We present an interesting case of a 52-year old patient with a history of several months’ dyspnea. Imaging tests revealed significant stenosis of the trachea and the left main bronchus. Tracheobronchopatia osteochondroplastica was diagnosed. Moreover, we carry out the differential diagnosis of the above pathology

Acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis associated with mushroom worker’s lung – a case report

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), also known as extrinsic allergic alveolitis is a non-IgE mediated allergic reaction to inhalation of an allergen. There are more than 200 allergens known to cause this condition, but the list of antigens responsible for the development of HP is constantly expanded. Dangerous agents are usually inhaled at the workplace, so we may distinguish the following patients at risk of HP: farmers, pigeon breeders, mushroom workers, cheese employees or even malt workers. Mushroom worker's lung (MWL) has been described in workers exposed to mushroom spores or to inhaled antigens from compost (mostly thermophilic actinomycetes)
