and the predictive ability of spirometric parameters to identify ILD.Methods From a retrospective cohort of 1121 individuals with respiratory symptoms attending primary care clinics for spirometry, 190 had normal spirometry (FVC >-1.64 standardized residuals (SR) and FEV1:FVC >-1.64 SR according to ...

Date of ILD detection, date of diagnosis, diagnosis name at the registration facility, and assume disease progression within 24 months of registration. 2. Type of onset judged by respiratory symptoms (acute onset, within 1 month; subacute onset, within 1–3 months; chronic onset, > 3 months...
Only MSGB > 4 correlated with xerostomia.Even when all patients showed impairment in both tissues there were no correlation between morphologic parameters explored in LB and MSGB focus score.Conclusions: Although there is no correlation between symptoms, clinical data o lung tissue damage degree ...
Although the initial signs and symptoms were indolent, systemic manifestations occurred, including extensive lung parenchymal damage and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The patient required long-term mechanical ventilation and was given linezolid for 8 weeks. Blood cultures eventually became negative for...
