Abstract

This article from the Qatar Medical Journal discusses a case of pneumonitis, a type of interstitial lung disease, induced by the breast cancer drugs paclitaxel and trastuzumab. The case involves a 51-year-old woman who experienced acute shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain after undergoing mastectomy and starting adjuvant treatment with the chemotherapy drugs. The patient was diagnosed with drug-induced pneumonitis and treated with prednisolone, resulting in significant clinical improvement. The article emphasizes the importance of recognizing and investigating the rare occurrence of pneumonitis as a side effect of these medications. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

A broad spectrum of diseases can cause anemia and thrombocytopenia. Some of these diseases are a hematological emergency; others are benign diseases, so early and accurate diagnosis is crucial in managing such patients. Usually, IDA is associated with thrombocytosis or normal platelets; however, in rare cases, IDA can be associated with thrombocytopenia; even though, thrombocytopenia that occurs with IDA responds to iron therapy. Iron therapy rarely causes transient thrombocytopenia per se. We are reporting an African female patient who is found to have thrombocytopenia secondary to iron deficiency anemia (IDA), and she responded to iron replacement therapy initially with a transient drop in platelets, followed by a rapid rise in platelets till platelets reached the normal level., Iron deficiency anemia can be associated with thrombocytopenia. It should be thought of after ruling out other differential diagnosis. It responds to iron replacement therapy, which can cause a transient drop in platelets initially then normalize.

Abstract

This article, published in the Qatar Medical Journal, discusses the successful eradication of Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia) in a patient with cystic fibrosis (CF). The patient, a 28-year-old female with multiple CF-related diseases, experienced a decline in lung function and was diagnosed with intestinal obstruction. Following a standardized eradication protocol, the patient showed significant improvement in symptoms and lung function, with no adverse effects reported. The article concludes that the regimen used was effective in eradicating B. cepacia in this patient. [Extracted from the article]

13. Unmasking tuberculosis: Isolated hilar adenopathy in an asymptomatic immunocompetent adult.

Abstract

This article, published in the Qatar Medical Journal, discusses a case of isolated hilar adenopathy in an asymptomatic immunocompetent adult, which is a rare manifestation of tuberculosis (TB). The case involves a 36-year-old male who was found to have prominent hilar shadows on a routine chest X-ray. Further imaging confirmed a single enlarged right hilar lymph node without additional lung abnormalities. The diagnosis of tuberculous adenopathy was confirmed through endoscopic bronchial ultrasound with a positive fine needle aspiration. The article emphasizes the importance of considering TB as a potential cause of mediastinal lymphadenopathy in adults, even if they are asymptomatic or immunocompetent, in order to initiate prompt treatment and achieve better outcomes.

14. Tuberculous pleural effusion with profuse mesothelial cell counts.

Abstract

This article, published in the Qatar Medical Journal, discusses a case of tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) with profuse mesothelial cell counts. TPE is typically characterized by a predominance of lymphocytes and a scarcity of mesothelial cells, but in this case, the pleural fluid contained a higher percentage of mesothelial cells. The article presents the case of a 33-year-old male who presented with symptoms of TPE and underwent various tests and procedures to confirm the diagnosis. The presence of elevated mesothelial cells in TPE, although rare, should not exclude the consideration of tuberculosis pathology in patients. [Extracted from the article]
