Article Abstract
The recognizing of the EP is still not satisfied because specifity and sensitivity of clinical symptoms is relatively low. SCT is an important examination in the diagnostic of pulmonary embolism and is the alternative to often nonconclusive scintigraphy and conclusive but invasive pulmonary angiography. The authors describe the role of SCT in the diagnostic algorithm of the suspected pulmonary embolism of the high and not high risk, discuss the interpretation of result of SCT due to the sort of SCT (SDCT or MDCT) and to clinical probability of PE and they discuss the problem of subsegmental PE.

Pulmonary patches with mediastinal lymphadenopathy could be showed in both lung cancer and sarcoidosis. There are certain similarities in their imaging manifestations, and histopathological examination is necessary for diagnosis. This article reports a case of a 62-year-old female patient who had a history of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma and underwent surgical treatment.

This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of interferon (IFN)-λ1 and IFN-λ3 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and plasma in non-neutropenic invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) patients. A total of 481 patients suspected of IPA were enrolled (169 IPA cases and 312 non-IPA cases) in this study. BALF and plasma samples were collected, and IFN-λ1 and IFN-λ3 levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Adenocarcinoma of the lung is the most common type of lung cancer and is classified as one of the non-small cell lung cancers. It typically arises in the peripheral regions of the lungs, affecting the dense glandular tissues. Most patients diagnosed with pulmonary adenocarcinoma are current or former smokers and present with nonspecific respiratory symptoms such as a persistent cough and shortness of breath.

commonly causes community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in young adults, but it rarely leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Macrolides are commonly used as the first-line treatment for pneumonia; however, the incidence of macrolide-resistant (MRMP) has increased, particularly in East Asia. There are few case reports of severe ARDS in adults caused by MRMP.

Background: commonly colonizes the genitourinary tract and primarily affects immunocompromised individuals. It is mostly confined to localized infections, with bloodstream dissemination being rare. Because of its fastidious nutritional requirements, the organism is seldom recovered by routine blood culture, and the absence of a cell wall renders it intrinsically resistant to many first-line antimicrobials.
