  19. June 2007 • ECHO: 2nd degree T sufficiency, • PAP: 60-65 mmHg, • Left ventricular function is normal

  20. June 2007 • RF: 69 U/mL • DLCo: %72 • Spirometry: postbronchodilatory FVC: %66 FEV1.%46 FEV1/FVC: 60 • 6 MWT: 310 M, heart rate at the end of the test :145/min

  21. What is the additional suggestion in therapy? • Teophylin • Spironolactone • Bosentan • İlomedin • Calcium canal blocker • Sildenafil

  22. What is the additional suggestion in therapy? • Teophylin • Spironolactone • Bosentan • İlomedin • Calcium canal blocker • Sildenafil

  23. One month later • Complaint of dyspnea • ABG ( room air):PH: 7,52 PaCO2:29mmHg PaO2:79 mmHg • DLCo: %52 • Spirometry: FVC:%51 FEV1: %40 FEV1/FVC: %68 • 6MWT: 270 M

  24. One moth later

  25. Therapy • Prednizolon 60mg+ cyclophospamide 100mg • Diltiazem 3x60 mg • ICS+ LABA • Anticoagulant

  26. October 2007 • Oral lesions • Elevation in dyspnea symtoms • Palpitations • Sweating • Chest pain • Lab: WC: 25300/mm3 sed:96 mm/h • Hospitalisation

  27. Loss of volume on the right hemithorax • Increase in the pulmonary artery diameter • Increase of parietal pleural nodules on right hemithorax • Mass in the anterior mediastinum • Increase of ascendan aorta diameter

  28. Loss of volume on the right hemithorax • Increase in the pulmonary artery diameter • Increase of parietal pleural nodules on right hemithorax • Mass in the anterior mediastinum • Increase of ascendan aorta diameter

  29. October 2007 • Kandidomannan: positive • freeT3-freeT4- TSH: normal • Sputum gram stain: PK(+), no microorganism is seen • Galaktomannan: 0,27 (-) • CRP: 184mg/L

  30. What do you think about differential diagnosis? • Tuberculosis • Candida pneumonia • İnvazive aspergillosis • Cyclophospamide toxicity • Thymoma • Actinomycosis • Nocardiosis

  31. Additional Therapy • Liposomal Amphotericin B 1mg/kg • Moxifloxasin 400mg/day

  32. Oral culture : (-) • Blood culture: (-) • Suputum microscopy: no fungus is found • Sputum culture: candida albicans • Suputum EZN: negative • Bronchoscopy: enflamation , BAL is taken from upper left lobe, and TBBx is taken from apicoanterior upper left lobe

  33. Third day • Reduced general contidition • Tachycardia unresponsive to medical treatment • Hypoxaemia despite Oxygen therapy mask use • Control X-ray

  34. Control Chest X-Ray Intralesionar punction: pus

  35. Third day • Pus material EZN stain: negative Gram stain: PK(+), suspicious gram pozitive microorganism • Lavage culture: No reproduction • Patient’s Hypoxaemia went deeper, respiratory failure, mechanic ventilation support, exitus!

  36. What is the diagnosis? • Tuberculosis • Necrotizing pnomonia (resistant microorganism) • İnvasive aspergillosis • Actinomycosis • Nocardiosis

  37. Pus material : Nocardia spc Specification is not done

  38. Nocardiosis • Nocardiosis is an acute, subacute, or chronic suppurative infection caused by Nocardia • Weakly gram-positive, filamentous bacteria found worldwide in soils • A total of approximately 30 strains of Nocardia have been associated with human disease • Infections are localized or dissemineted

  39. Nocardiosis • Disseminated and fulminant disease mainly occurs in immunocompromised host with underlying illnesses, such as HIV, cytotoxic chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, or prolonged glucocorticoid treatment

  40. NocardiosisClinical manifestations • Bronchopneumonia • Lobar pneumonia • Necrotizing pneumonia • Mediastinitis • Mediastinal abscesses • Cerebral abscesses • Intra-abdominal abscesses • Peritonitis

  41. Nocardiosis • The primary disease occurs in the pulmonary system and may mimic tuberculosis, staphylococcal, or mycotic infections • Hematogenous dissemination may occur to all organs of the body • The brain, kidneys, and liver are the most common metastatic sites

  42. Nocardiosis • Mortality is increased in patients with acute infection and in those with disseminated disease involving two or more contiguous organs or the CNS • Mortality is also increased in patients taking corticosteroids or antineoplastic agents

  43. NocardiosisPhysical examinations • Subacute abscesses are palpabl at the site of trauma and generally fell firmer than fluctuant • A lung examination may reveal diffuse or localized abnormal breath sounds • Mild-to-severe respiratory distress that progresses to respiratory failure may occur

  44. Nocardiosisİmaging studies • Generalized infections - chest radiographic findings vary and include fluffy infiltrates, scattered nodules, and confluent lobar infiltrates progressing to complete consolidation and cavitation - Chest CT scanning may be necessary to visualize the extent of disease and to rule out empyema

  45. NocardiosisDiagnosis • Gram-stain -Directly examine clinical materials (eg, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, cerebral spinal fluid, pus) by gram stains and acid-fast stains -Use methamine-silver stains for demonstrating the organisms in tissue specimens • Serological diagnosis is not readily available • Cultures typically grow within 3-5 days on blood or chocolate agar

  46. NocardiosisTreatment • Sulfa-based therapy is recomended. TM-SM, given intravenously in high doses, is the treatment of cohoice • Linezolid has a growing literature in support of its use in combination and monotherapy • Additional concurrent therapy with an aminoglycoside plus ceftriaxone benefits patients with fulminant disease

  47. NocardiosisTreatment • Patients who are immunocompetent with lymphocutaneous disease are usually treated for 6-12 weeks • Therapy includes incisions and drainage of abscesses • Patients with immunocompromising conditions are treated for at least three months after clinical cure( usually up to one year of threapy)
