Endobronchial localization of Hodgkin's disease

Abstract

The endobronchial localization of Hodgkin's disease is a rare entity which is often confused with endobronchial tuberculosis in our setting. We report the case of a 16 years old female who presented with 6 months history of dry cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, dysphagia and dysphonia. The chest radiography showed a mediastinal and pulmonary opacity. The chest CT scan found enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. The bronchial biopsy and peripheral lymph node biopsy confirmed Hodgkin's disease with endobronchial localization. The patient received chemotherapy (ABVD protocol) and radiotherapy with a favorable follow up.

Cryptosporidium infection in bovine calves: prevalence and potential risk factors in northwest Ethiopia

“…Various reports have indicated that the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis ranges from 6.25 to 39.65% in cattle in different parts of the world [ 12 – 14 ]. There are various factors that affect the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis including age, bedding type, hygiene, colostrum feeding, management practices, feed and water sources, diarrhoea and climate [ 15 ]. In Ethiopia, where over 50 million cattle are raised under various agro-ecological zones, a few research works have been done on bovine cryptosporidiosis in central parts of the country reporting a prevalence ranges from 2.3 to 27.8% [ 16 – 18 ].…”

Endobronchial Presentation of Hodgkin Lymphoma Responding to Pembrolizumab: A Case Report

“…The most frequent presentation of HL is a bulky mediastinal mass, constituting the 67–87% of cases [7]. Conversely, pulmonary HL involvement is a less common presentation and can be seen in lymph nodes, parenchyma, and tracheobronchial tree, usually in association with hilar or mediastinal adenopathy [1, 8].…”
