Asbestosis, endobronchial Aspergillus infection, and bronchocentric granulomatosis presenting with hemoptysis
1Department of Pathology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, City University of New York, New York.
Abstract:
A patient with pulmonary asbestosis developed hemoptysis and a lesion on chest radiograph secondary to bronchocentric granulomatosis (BG) associated with Aspergillus fumigatus. Although pulmonary Aspergillus infection is a known complication of asbestos exposure. BG has not been previously reported in this disorder. This patient's case further documents that Aspergillus hyphae may be present in BG unassociated with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. A wide range of processes affecting airways, including asbestos exposure, may be associated with bronchocentric granulomatosis.

Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
