IgA nephropathy usually presents as asymptomatic microscopic hematuria or proteinuria or episodic gross hematuria after upper respiratory infection. It is an uncommon cause of end-stage renal failure in childhood. Pulmonary hemorrhage associated with IgA nephropathy is an unusual life-threatening manifestation in pediatric patients and is usually treated with aggressive immunosuppression. Pulmonary hemorrhage and renal failure usually occur concurrently, and the pulmonary manifestation is believed to be caused by the same immune process. We present the case of a 14-year-old patient with IgA nephropathy who had already progressed to end-stage renal failure in spite of immunosuppression and presented with pulmonary hemorrhage during oral prednisone treatment. His lung disease was comparable to diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and was successfully treated with plasmapheresis followed by oral prednisone. This case suggests that pulmonary hemorrhage may develop independently of renal manifestation, and that plasmapheresis should be considered as adjunctive therapy to immunosuppressive medication for treating IgA nephropathy with pulmonary hemorrhage.

A 45-year-old man presented with dyspnea and hemoptysis during exercise. A chest computed tomography (CT) revealed multifocal diffuse patchy ground glass opacity and interlobular septal thickening in both the lungs. Permeability pulmonary edema or pulmonary hemorrhage was suspected. Serologic studies for autoimmune disorders and vasculitis were negative. There was no laboratory evidence of coagulopathy, other hematopoietic disease or infectious disease. Considering correlation with exercise, we diagnosed exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) or exercise-induced pulmonary edema (EIPE). The patient was managed with antifibrinolytics, antibiotics, and antitussive agent. After a week, follow-up chest CT revealed completely resolved pulmonary hemorrhage. About 2 months after the first event, he visited again with dyspnea and hemoptysis during running. In the present study, we report a case of recurrent pulmonary hemorrhage after exercise.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is an antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated necrotizing vasculitis, which mainly affects small vessels in various organs, especially the lungs. The two key pulmonary manifestations, interstitial lung disease (ILD) and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH), increase the morbidity and death rate of patients with MPA. ILD is more common in MPA than in other ANCA-associated vasculitis subsets and is primarily associated with myeloperoxidase-ANCA. Unlike alveolar hemorrhage due to pulmonary capillaritis, ILD can initially manifest as isolated pulmonary fibrosis. Of note, its most frequent radiographic pattern is the usual interstitial pneumonia pattern, similar to the characteristic pattern seen in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In this review we present the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and radiographic and histopathologic features of ILD and DAH in MPA. We also briefly summarize the outcome and therapeutic options for the two conditions.

목 적: 신생아 폐출혈은 드물긴 하나, 일단 발생한 환아는 높은 사망률을 보인다. 급성 좌심실 부전, 호흡 곤란 증후군, 동맥관 개존증, 패혈증, 혈소판 감소증 등이 폐출혈 발생에 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 보고되고 있다. 저자는 출생 체중에 따라 신생아의 폐출혈 발생에 영향을 줄 수 있는 위험 인자를 규명하고 예후를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 1995년 1월부터 2008년 12월까지 본원 신생아 중환자실에 입원한 재태 기간 37주 미만의 미숙아 117명을 대상으로 출생 체중에 따라 두 군으로 구분하였다. 폐출혈의 정의는 임상적인 정의를 적용하였고, 각 군에서 폐출혈의 발생에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알고자 병력지를 기초로 후향적으로 조사하였다. 결 과: 대상 환아 총 117례 중 폐출혈은 39례(33.3%)에서 발생하였으며, 출생 체중에 따라 극소 저체중 출생아군에서는 대상환아 총 48례 중 17례(35.4%)에서 폐출혈이 있었고 산전 산모의 스테로이드 치료 여부는 환아의 폐출혈 발생과 유의한 관련이 있었다($P$=0.001). 1분 APGAR 점수가 3점 이하인 경우, 혈소판 감소증도 폐출혈 발생과 유의한 관련이 있었다($P$<0.05). 저체중 출생아군에서는 대상 환아 총 69례 중 22례(31.9%)에서 폐출혈이 있었고 1분 APGAR 점수가 3점 이하인 경우는 폐출혈 발생과 유의한 관련이 있었다($P$=0.025). 저혈압, 산혈증, 혈소판 감소증도 폐출혈 발생과 유의한 관련이 있었다($P$<0.05). 다변수 분석에서 극소 저체중 출생아군에서는 산전의 산모 스테로이드 치료가 환아의 폐출혈 발생을 의미있게 감소시켰으며(OR=0.203, 95% CI=0.044-0.934), 저체중 출생아군에서는 1분 APGAR 점수가 3점 이하인 경우(OR=5.992, 95% CI=1.145-31.351)와 산혈증(OR=4.434, 95% CI=1.279-15.376)이 환아의 폐출혈 발생과 유의한 관련이 있었다. 결 론: 출생 체중이 적은 군에서 비교적 폐출혈이 늦게 발생하나, 일단 발생하면 사망률은 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 극소 저체중 출생아군에서는 산전의 산모 스테로이드 치료가 환아의 폐출혈 발생을 의미있게 감소시켰으며, 저체중 출생아군에서는 1분 APGAR 점수가 3점 이하인 경우와 산혈증이 환아의 폐출혈 발생과 유의한 관련이 있었다.

HELLP syndrome에서 여러 출혈 합병증이 보고 되었으나, 아직 미만성 폐포출혈에 대한 보고는 없었다. HELLP syndrome이 합병된 임신 36주 임산부에서 분만 후 혈담과 단순 흉부 방사선 촬영상 양측성폐침윤이 관찰되어 기관지폐포세척술을 통해서 미만성 폐포출혈을 진단 및 치료 후 호전된 예를 경험하였기에 문헌과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Propylthiouracil (PTU) is one of the most common drugs used in the treatment of Graves' disease. There are a number of side effects found with PTU use including fever, rash, arthralgia, and flu-like symptoms. Recently antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) positive vasculitis after PTU treatment was reported as a rare side effect, which can cause diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis. A 45-year-old woman with Graves' disease had been treated with PTU for five months, complained of hemoptysis due to pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage causing anemia, and also had hematuria. Simple chest X-ray and HRCT showed bilateral consolidation and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid revealed alveolar hemorrhage. A serologic test was positive for ANCA against myeloperoxidase and proteinase-3. Such findings suggested that the presence of PTU induced ANCA positive vasculitis. Cessation of PTU and the administration of high dose steroids improved the clinical manifestation, radiologic and serologic findings. We observed ANCA titer serially for 6 years. During the follow up period, ANCA titer decreased slowly and stayed within the acceptable upper normal limit.

During the last 10 years of period, one hundred patients with various pulmonary diseases were pneumonectomized upon at the Department of Chest Surgery of Pusan University Hospital. This paper is concerned with the clnical results of these patients along with the serious postoperative complications such as postoperative intrapleural infection and hemorrhage. The results were obtained as follows. 1.Left pneumonectomy was done in sixty-six of 100 patients [66 %] and the right one was done in the rest thirty-four[34 %]. The ratio between left and right was nearly 2:1. 2.Of all oostoperative complications, the intrapleural infection was most common, and these were 53 % in empyema thoracis and 12.7 % in pulmonary tuberculosis respectively. 3.More postoperative complications could be seen after right pneumonectomy than the left one. 4.It was thought that the postoperative intrapleural infection was closely correlated with the methods of pleural dissection at pneumonectomy,postoperatlve tube drainage, time of operation, massive hemorrhage during operation, prolongation of bleeding time, and dysfunction of the liver. 5.The repeated thoracenteses with infusion of neomycin into the infected thoracic cavity and intravenous administrations of the high units of penicillin were effective in treatment of the postoperative intrapleural infection, however, the refractory cases have to be cured by thoracoplasty with open window. 6.Immediate secondary open thoracotomy appears to be the method of choice in life saving who developed massive intrathoracic hemorrhage after pneumonectomy. 7.The mortality rate was 10 % in our cases and the main causes of death were postoperative respiratory insufficiency, pulmonary edema, hemorrhage and sudden cardiac arrest.

Henoch-$Sch\ddot{o}nlein$ purpura (HSP) is an immunologically mediated systemic vasculitis of small blood vessels that primarily involves the skin, gastrointestinal tract, joints and kidneys. HSP is a common vasculitic syndrome in children who, in most cases, achieve complete recovery. Pulmonary hemorrhage is a very rare manifestation of HSP. The authors present a case of a 46-year-old male presenting with pulmonary hemorrhage and renal involvement and the diagnosis of HSP. The patient responded to prednisolone therapy.
