[A case of recurrent cough in bronchial carcinoid].

PubMed (1999)

M Strano M Funis Simone Frediani Duvina Pl

The carcinoid tumors of the bronchial are extremely uncommon, with an incidence of 5% of all pulmonary neoplasms. The carcinoid is the more frequent tumor of the lung in paediatric age. The symptoms most often reported were cough, recurring infection, chest pain, hemoptysis, fever, dyspnea, mild dyspnea attacks after physical effort or nervousness. The carcinoid syndrome is uncommon. Neuroendocrine tumors of the lung embrace a spectrum from low-grade typical carcinoid, intermediate-grade atypical carcinoid, and high-grade categories of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and small cell carcinoma. Low grade neoplasms may metastasize to adjacent nodes. Atypical carcinoids are considered low grade malignancies. Most malignant end of neuroendocrine neoplasm group is small cell carcinoma. Typical carcinoids carry an excellent prognosis and should be offered conservative lung resection, whilst atypical carcinoids which behave aggressively should be treated by radical lung resection. The authors report a case of the young patients with bronchial typical carcinoid tumor who had suffered from cough and mild dyspnea attacks after physical effort or nervousness in the last year.

[2 cases of Kawasaki disease with increase of beta-2 thromboglobulin].

PubMed (1986)

Chessa Ricotti C G Tofani R Martini I Consumi G Corti

The authors report two cases of Kawasaki disease, in which both the classic symptomatology and an increase in the beta 2 thromboglobin were present. The antigens of histocompatibility do not appear similar either to those which are more frequent in the Japanese population or in the patients suffering from arterial occlusive disease and Takayasu arteritis. The prognosis for these patients appears to be favourable: vascular and heart damages have not been shown. The therapy by means of antiaggregating agents has given good results showing a regression of the symptoms and a normalization of the laboratory tests within a few months.
