Bronchoscopic lung cryobiopsy for the diagnosis of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in a hypoxemic patient
We report a case of 59-year-old male who presented to our center with gradually worsening breathlessness and cough of 1-year duration. Chest radiograph revealed bilateral extensive pulmonary infiltrates and high-resolution computerized tomography scan revealed extensive bilateral ground-glass opacities with areas of sparing. BAL and transbronchial lung biopsy failed to confirm the diagnosis; hence, BLC was done which revealed pathologic findings suggesting PAP. BLC appears to be a promising diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of PAP and offers several diagnostic advantages compared to conventional techniques. (Source: Lung India)

Autopsies are indispensable in the advancement of patient care: Report of an unusual presentation and fatal outcome of an autopsy-diagnosed case of advanced idiopathic interstitial pneumonia
Evi Abada, Kunil RavalLung India 2020 37(4):333-335
Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) are a group of fibrosing lung disorders conferring significant morbidity and mortality to patients. Most patients with IIP first present with dyspnea and/or cough. Here, we report the case of a 53-year-old male who presented with severe abdominal pain and weight loss of approximately 100 pounds of 3-month duration. Symptoms of mild dyspnea and cough were obtained during additional history taking. Physical examination and computed tomography of the chest were suggestive of pneumonia, and he was placed on multiple antibiotics but d...

The N-95 mask: invaluable ally in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic
Zarir F Udwadia, Reyma Sara RajuLung India 2020 37(4):323-328
The present COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the airborne SARS-CoV-2 virus, has highlighted the vital importance of appropriate personal protective equipment for all exposed health care workers. The single most important part of this armor is the N-95 mask. With the awareness that the virus is spread by both droplets and through the aerosolized route, the N-95 provides protection that a surgical mask cannot match. This timely review looks at the special advantages that an N-95 offers over a surgical mask with specific reference to the COVID-19 epidemic. It also emp...
