Article Abstract

The infection is a parasitic foodborne infection that induces systemic symptoms with eosinophilia in humans. Here, we described pneumothorax in addition to pulmonary opacities with eosinophilia in a man with a positive serology. He was misdiagnosed with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) during the initial phase. Paragonimiasis can share similar clinical findings with CEP in cases where the worm is confined to the lungs. The findings of the current study suggest that paragonimiasis and CEP can be distinguished from each other by the presence of various symptoms. Notably, eosinophilia with pneumothorax should be an important diagnostic factor for paragonimiasis.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition often complicated by cardiovascular comorbidities, impacting treatment options and outcomes. In this paper, we present a 41-year-old patient with severe AD, asthma, and chronic heart failure, who responded well to dupilumab, showing significant improvements in skin severity scores and heart function. This case underscores the effectiveness of dupilumab in managing AD alongside complex comorbidities.

There is limited understanding of the impact of anti-IL5 treatment on nasal polyp tissue biology in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This study examined nasal polyp tissue cellular proteome and transcriptome responses to anti-IL5 treatment in CRSwNP utilising spatial profiling. GeoMx™ Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) of 80 proteins and 1,833 mRNA targets in the polyp stroma and the whole transcriptome (18,815 mRNA targets) in polyp epithelia was undertaken on sinonasal biopsies collected from 20 individuals with eosinophilic CRSwNP before and after 16 and 24 weeks of mepolizumab treatment.

Risk factors for Progression to Frequent Exacerbators in Stable Patients with COPD.

Tuberc Respir Dis (Seoul)

September 2025

Division of Pulmonary and Allergy, Department of Internal Medicine, Konkuk University Hospital, School of Medicine, Konkuk University, Seoul, Korea.

Background: Little is known about the transition to frequent exacerbators in stabilized patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods: This study utilized data obtained from the Korean COPD subgroup study cohort (KOCOSS), including 511 patients with infrequent exacerbations. The outcome for these groups was progression to frequent exacerbators.

Galectin-10(Gal-10)/CLC(Charcot-Leyden crystal) has been discovered to be related to ECRSwNP characterized by high eosinophilic infiltration. We aimed to investigate the effects of Gal-10 on ECRSwNP. A total of 36 tissue samples were collected, including 11 ECRSwNP samples, 15 non-ECRSwNP samples, and 10 Control samples.

Background: Dermatologic adverse events (dAEs) are prevalent with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), affecting quality of life and treatment adherence. Despite their prevalence, underlying mechanisms of toxicity remain unclear. We sought to characterize dAEs across TKI generations to elucidate mechanisms driving toxicities.
