Article Abstract
Rationale: Standard treatment of lipoid pneumonitis remains unclear. This study reports a case of kerosene pneumonitis successfully treated with systemic steroid and segmental bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).
Patient Concerns: A 30-year-old woman referred to our hospital because of worsening of respiratory symptoms and fever despite antibiotic therapy following accidental ingestion of kerosene. She had no underlying disease.
Diagnoses: Chest CT scan showed necrotic consolidation, ground glass opacity (GGO), bronchial wall thickening in the right middle/lower lobe (RML/RLL) and right pleural effusion. The lipoid pneumonitis was confirmed by identification of a lipid laden macrophage in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
Interventions: The patient was treated with systemic corticosteroid and segmental BAL.
Outcomes: The patient's symptoms rapidly improved after treatment and she was discharged one week after admission. A follow-up CT scan a week after discharge revealed marked resolution of consolidation. No recurrence was reported for 8 months.
Lessons: This is the first case of kerosene pneumonitis successfully treated with systemic steroid and bronchoscopic segmental lavage therapy in Korea. Very few cases have been reported worldwide.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a highly virulent and drug-resistant pathogen frequently causing bacterial pneumonia. Currently, there are limited effective treatments available due to the rapidly evolving resistance of bacteria. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel therapies that focus on host-pathogen interactions.

Background: Intravenous lipid emulsions are a key component of parenteral nutrition, and their fatty acid compositions may influence immune responses and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2020 to December 2022 compared clinical outcomes of hospitalized non-critical care patients receiving parenteral nutrition with either mixed oil or soybean oil lipid emulsions for at least 48 h. The primary outcome was a composite of the presence of pneumonia, urinary tract infection, or an intra-abdominal collection diagnosed within 14 days of initiating parenteral nutrition.

Objective: Pulmonary inflammation is closely associated with macrophage polarization and lipid metabolic reprogramming. Miconazole (MCZ), traditionally used as an antifungal agent, exhibits emerging anti-inflammatory potential, yet its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods: A mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung inflammation was employed to evaluate MCZ's anti-inflammatory efficacy.

Background: Exogenous lipoid pneumonia is a rare condition caused by the aspiration of lipid-containing substances. Its diagnosis can be challenging due to non-specific respiratory symptoms and imaging findings. Complications, such as secondary infections, may exacerbate the clinical course, particularly in immunocompromised or elderly patients.

Pediatric bacterial pneumonia continues to pose a significant global health burden, often resulting in serious complications. Recent studies have emphasized the pivotal role of the gut-lung axis in the progression of respiratory diseases, wherein disruptions in gut microbiota can aggravate pulmonary inflammation. This research investigates the underlying mechanisms by which Ma-Xing-Shi-Gan Decoction (MXSG), a classical formula in traditional Chinese medicine, influences the gut-lung axis in the context of childhood bacterial pneumonia.
