Pneumonia / Lung Infections

[@deepakk7067]

thank you for posting this educational video. I’m a community Intensivist. Appreciate you sharing the knowledge Make me feel I’m in an academic center and can continue my lifelong learning

Thank you so much! This is literally the best video on yt on pneumonia. Please keep up the good work!

I wish you could look at my health records. I went to the hospital with SOB that just came on suddenly. I didn’t feel sick, not bad, just couldn’t breath. I was diagnosed with double pneumonia on July 7th, fluid in both lungs. After about 4 days I was not getting any better, just worse. Pulmonary was brought in. I had a HRCT scan and then blood work which shows ground glass opacities in mid to lower lungs. They diagnosed me with ILD and myoitis as my anti job 1 is positive. Still have small plueral effusion to this day. End of September I was hospitalized with small PE in left lung with no source. I’m frustrated because I think they are ignoring pulmonary edema. I still have SOB and am on supplemental oxygen all the time now. This literally just came on one day.

can you explain halo and reverse halo signs in fungal infection

[@radiologyframeworks]

Sure thing! Halo sign = solid nodule or mass surrounded by a zone of ground-glass opacity (i.e. solid opacity centrally, ground-glass peripherally). Reverse halo sign = ground-glass with consolidation along its margins (ground-glass centrally, solid opacity peripherally). Halo sign can occur with invasive aspergillosis, endemic fungal infections, and mucormycosis. However, halo sign is not specific for fungal infection and can occur with many other disorders, e.g. septic pulmonary emboli, nocardia, primary lung cancer, GPA, and lung mets from melanoma, choriocarcinoma, and angiosarcoma just to name a few. Although we tend to think of organizing pneumonia, slowly resolving lung infections, and pulmonary infarcts first when we encounter reversed halo sign, one fungal infection in particular comes to mind too - mucormycosis. I'll share some images of one such case in the "Community" tab for this channel.
