    Abstract COVID pneumonia patient presents with fever, cough, and breathing difficulty. Many respiratory pathogens have such clinical presentations and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is one of them, which is prevalent in the Indian subcontinent. Herein, we are presenting a case of dual infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and drug-resistant PTB [likely multidrug resistance (MDR)] in a patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus, a clinical course further complicated by a prolonged viral clearance.

    Abstract In this review, the infectious complications observed in sarcoidosis are considered from a practical point of view to help the clinician not to overlook them in a difficult context, as pulmonary sarcoidosis makes the recognition of superinfections more difficult. An increased incidence of community-acquired pneumonia and of opportunistic pneumonia has been reported, especially in immunosuppressed patients. Pulmonary destructive lesions of advanced sarcoidosis increase the incidence of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis and infection by other agents. Screening and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection are crucial to prevent severe tuberculosis. Severity in COVID-19 appears to be increased by comorbidities rather than by sarcoidosis per se. The diagnosis of infectious complications can be challenging and should be considered as a potential differential diagnosis when the exacerbation of sarcoidosis is suspected. These complications not only increase the need for hospitalizations, but also increase the risk of death. This aspect must be carefully considered when assessing the overall health burden associated with sarcoidosis. The impact of immune dysregulation on infectious risk is unclear except in exceptional cases. In the absence of evidence-based studies on immunosuppressants in the specific context of pulmonary sarcoidosis, it is recommended to apply guidelines used in areas outside sarcoidosis. Preventive measures are essential, beginning with an appropriate use of immunosuppressants and the avoidance of unjustified treatments and doses. This approach should take into account the risk of tuberculosis, especially in highly endemic countries. Additionally, parallel emphasis should be placed on vaccinations, especially against COVID-19.

    Abstract Rationale: Persistent respiratory symptoms following Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) are associated with residual radiological changes in lung parenchyma, with a risk of development into lung fibrosis, and with impaired pulmonary function. Previous studies hinted at the possible efficacy of corticosteroids (CS) in facilitating the resolution of post-COVID residual changes in the lungs, but the available data is limited.
    Aim: To evaluate the effects of CS treatment in post-COVID respiratory syndrome patients.
    Patients and methods: Post-COVID patients were recruited into a prospective single-center observational study and scheduled for an initial (V1) and follow-up visit (V2) at the Department of Respiratory Medicine and Tuberculosis, University Hospital Olomouc, comprising of pulmonary function testing, chest x-ray, and complex clinical examination. The decision to administer CS or maintain watchful waiting (WW) was in line with Czech national guidelines.
    Results: The study involved 2729 COVID-19 survivors (45.7% male; mean age: 54.6). From 2026 patients with complete V1 data, 131 patients were indicated for CS therapy. These patients showed significantly worse radiological and functional impairment at V1. Mean initial dose was 27.6 mg (SD ± 10,64), and the mean duration of CS therapy was 13.3 weeks (SD ± 10,06). Following therapy, significantly better improvement of static lung volumes and transfer factor for carbon monoxide (DLCO), and significantly better rates of good or complete radiological and subjective improvement were observed in the CS group compared to controls with available follow-up data (n = 894).
    Conclusion: Better improvement of pulmonary function, radiological findings and subjective symptoms were observed in patients CS compared to watchful waiting. Our findings suggest that glucocorticoid therapy could benefit selected patients with persistent dyspnea, significant radiological changes, and decreased DLCO.

    Abstract Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. One of the treatment choices used in hormone receptor positive and HER2 expression negative metastatic breast cancer is cyclin dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK) inhibitors. There are differences between the effects and adverse events of all CDK4/6 inhibitors. In this report, we describe a 48-year-old female patient with breast cancer who developed pulmonary infiltrates secondary to drug in the second year of follow-up with Ribociclib therapy.
    Case report: The patient who used ribociclib for metastatic breast cancer was admitted to hospital for routine controls. The patient, in the eighth month of ribociclib treatment, had no active complaints. In the patient's imaging, pulmonary infiltrates were detected in the lower lobe of the right lung.
    Management and outcome: The drug was continued in the patient who was asymptomatic and had no infectious signs. Pneumonitis, interstitial lung disease, tuberculosis, COVID-19 and other viral agents were excluded in the patient. A minimal increase in pulmonary infiltrates was observed in the follow-up. However, the patient who does not have any complaints is currently continuing ribociclib at 600 mg/day.
    Discussion: The pulmonary infiltrates that developed in the patient increased with continued use of ribociclib, suggesting that this was due to ribociclib. The Naranjo Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale also indicates probable relationship.

    Title translation Izolovaná plicní embolie – specifická klinická jednotka?
    Abstract Pulmonary embolism in classical meaning is a complication of deep vein thrombosis (usually in the leg veins), developing after a part of the thrombus dislodged and got wedged in pulmonary arteries. However, in half of the patients with pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis is not found. One potential explanation is a different, less common location of the thrombus or previous complete embolization of the whole thrombotic mass. Another possibility is pulmonary artery thrombosis in situ, which is a specific clinical entity associated with some typical risk factors. It develops in the place of vascular injury, as a consequence of hypoxia, inflammatory changes, endothelial dysfunction and injury. Pulmonary artery thrombosis in situ can be a complication after lung resection, radiation therapy, chest trauma, in the patients with Behçet´s disease, sickle cell anemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tuberculosis or covid pneumonia. Pulmonary artery thrombosis in situ may differ from classical pulmonary embolism in prognosis as well as in therapeutic approach.

    Abstract Emerging cases of coinfection of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and tuberculosis (TB), although rare, have attracted the attention of health systems around the world and have arisen many concerns about the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this coinfection especially in high TB burden countries. Here, we report a rare case and, to the best of our knowledge, the first reported case in Morocco of simultaneous diagnosis of an active pulmonary TB infection and a COVID-19 pneumonia. We present a case of a sixty-seven-year-old male patient who was admitted to our COVID-19 emergency department with a diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia, confirmed by nasopharyngeal swab's polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of SARS-CoV-2. The atypical radiological findings suggested a TB coinfection which was later confirmed by sputum cultures and Xpert MTB/Rif assay. The patient also presented some complications including thrombosis of the left leg, pulmonary embolism and inaugural ketosis. Treatment was administered as per local protocols: broad spectrum antibiotics, corticosteroids, fixed dose-combination of antituberculosis treatment along with hydration and insulin therapy for ketosis treatment and anticoagulation. The patient was discharged after twenty-three days of hospitalization. Due to the currently limited data, further studies are necessary to establish any possible correlation between COVID-19 infection and the progression of a latent and/or the severity of an active TB infection.

    Abstract Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) may present in the form of parenchymal disease or extraparenchymal disease. Patients with TB as a primary cause of respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation have been reported to have mortality rates ranging between 47% and 80%. However, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as a presentation of TB is rarely reported. We describe two cases of immunocompetent women presenting with ARDS. They were initially worked up for viral aetiologies in view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic but were later diagnosed to have microbiologically proven parenchymal pulmonary TB. One of our patients succumbed to nosocomial pneumonia, while the other was discharged to follow-up.
