“…The Brazilian literature has reported the importance of imaging exams in the study of lung infections ( 18 - 23 ) . Radio-logically, chest X-ray, although nonspecific, is important to demonstrate pulmonary involvement in HPS; it is also essential for the monitoring of disease progression.…”

Objective:The purpose of this study was to describe the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings in patients with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed HRCT findings from eight cases of HPS. All patients were men, aged 19-70 (mean, 41.7) years. Diagnoses were established by serological test (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) in all patients. Two chest radiologists analyzed the images and reached decisions by consensus.Results:The predominant HRCT findings were ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and smooth inter- and intralobular septal thickening, found in all eight cases; however, the crazy-paving pattern was found in only three cases. Pleural effusion and peribronchovascular thickening were observed in five patients. The abnormalities were bilateral in all patients.Conclusion:The predominant HRCT findings in patients with HPS were GGOs and smooth inter- and intralobular septal thickening, which probably correlate with the histopathologic findings of pulmonary edema.

“…None of them discuss factors that might influence the prognosis. The majority of the papers describe pediatric patients (1-3,5-10, [12][13][14][15][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][51][52][53]; while only five are centered on adults (16,25,30,50,54). The typical cutaneous aspects of NCM were described in all cases.…”

AIM:To analyze the current literature on neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM), as well as, our cases, in order to better define the prognosis and the presence of risk factors affecting it, thus, offering better information to the parents. MATERIAL and METHODS:Two cases observed at the Pediatric Neurosurgery Unit of the Catholic University Medical School in Rome are described. Both of them had cutaneous stigmata and cerebral MR evidence of intracranial melanin deposits. These two children showed a very different clinical course. RESULTS:The present study enlighten the differences among the two cases and review the literature on the subject, with the attempt to understand which are clinical and disease related factors that might influence the prognosis. CONCLUSION:Beside malignant features of cutaneous melanotic lesions, the presence of hydrocephalus at diagnosis and the early appearance of clinical symptoms, when appearing contemporarily, are predicting the rapid progression of the disease and a worse prognosis.

“…Recent studies in the radiology literature of Brazil have focused on describing the imaging aspects of numerous infectious diseases ( 11 - 16 ) . Radiographically, HPS presents as interstitial edema with or without rapid progression to airspace disease in a central or bibasilar distribution ( 5 ) .…”
