An Interesting Case of Bilateral Lung Consolidation
Abstract:
Organising pneumonia is a histopathological entity characterised by intra-alveolar buds of granulation tissue, intermixed myofibroblasts and connective tissue. Cryptogenic organising pneumonia (COP) is characterised by this particular histopathological pattern, along with typical clinical and imaging features, when no other underlying aetiology is found. COP (previously known as bronchiolitis obliterans organising pneumonia [BOOP]) is one of the rare variants of interstitial pneumonias. This condition is characterised by a rapid clinical and radiological improvement with steroid treatment. Here we are reporting a case of COP in adult female with discussion on approach and basic pathophysiology of this type of pneumonia.

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.
Primary Symptoms of COPD:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
