Issue Date: | 2022 | Source: | 10, (5), 2022 | Journal: | Respirology Case Reports | Abstract: | We describe a 6-year-old girl with homozygous p.Phe508del cystic fibrosis with severe multi-lobar bronchiectasis and obstructive lung disease who was found to have prominent parenchymal calcifications in the right middle lobe on a computed tomography scan of the chest. Histopathology from the calcified area of lung biopsy showed fibrous tissue with chronic inflammation with CD3+ T-lymphocytes and macrophages with no granulomas. Dystrophic calcification was seen within this necrotic debris.L20159251342022-05-02 | DOI: | 10.1002/rcr2.941 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L2015925134&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1002/rcr2.941 | | Keywords: | clinical article;clofazimine;Mycobacterium tuberculosis test kitazithromycin;calcium;computer assisted tomography;ethambutol;magnesium;phosphate;rifampicin;article;bronchial wall thickening;bronchiectasis;bronchus disease;calcinosis;case report;CD3+ T lymphocyte;child;chronic inflammation;chronic obstructive lung disease | Type: | Article |
