Abstract

Introduction: Aspergillosis is a fungal infection commonly found in human lungs and takes several forms. Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) commonly affects individuals with underlying disease, most usually lung tuberculosis (TB). Aspergillosis can cause the formation of a fungus ball in the lung cavity and can also manifest in the tracheobronchial area, although this is rarely seen in immunocompetent patients. Case: A 23-year-old woman came with persistent cough, hemoptysis, and shortness of breath for 4 months. The patient also had a significant weight loss and a history of lung TB 3 years ago. She had completed her lung TB medication. Physical examination showed increased respiratory rate and rhonchi on the left lung. GeneXpert showed no Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) detected. The chest X-ray showed a cavity on the left superior lobe of the lung. Bronchoscopy showed multiple plaques along the trachea, carina, and left main bronchus. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan with contrast enhancement was performed, and a fungus ball was found inside the cavity in the left upper lobe of the lung. The patient was given intravenous fluconazole as therapy and continued with oral fluconazole when discharged. A second bronchoscopy was performed, and improvement was shown. Conclusion: Early detection and treatment should be applied to CPA patients since some studies showed poor prognosis and low five-year survival rates.

Abstract

Introduction: Lymphoid neoplasms are abnormalities of the hematopoiesis process of the lymphoid line, which can lead to lymphoma or leukemia. Mesothelioma is an abnormal mesothelial cell growth strongly associated with asbestos exposure. In radiology, mesothelioma is usually described as a tissue-dense lesion with well-defined, spiculated borders attached to the thoracic wall. The picture actually only depicts a tissue attached to the thorax, which can be suspected as mesothelioma, but can also be due to other disease processes, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and tuberculosis. Case: A 58-year-old man presented to the emergency room with complaints of shortness of breath. The patient was initially suspected of mesothelioma with suspicion of blood malignancy, but it turned out that the biopsy results were more likely to lead to infiltration of lymphoid neoplasms. Conclusion: In this patient, a lymphatic neoplasm infiltrated the mesothelial tissue and produced a well-demarcated and spiculated tissue picture resembling mesothelioma. Biopsy examination as the gold standard cannot be replaced by radiologic imaging at this time, as many other disease processes can mimic a malignancy.

Abstract

Background: End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is a growing health burden. Poor patient knowledge and treatment adherence contribute to increased morbidity, as reflected in readmission rates. Objective: This study aimed to identify factors associated with readmission among ESKD patients in Bali. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Wangaya Hospital. Adult patients (≥18 years) diagnosed with ESKD, with or without dialysis, between 2022 and 2024 were included. Patients with incomplete records or a solitary kidney were excluded. Bivariate analysis (chi-square test) and multivariate analysis (binary logistic regression) were used to assess associations, with significance set at p <0.05. Results: A total of 199 patients met the inclusion criteria; 61.8% were male, with a median age of 57 years (range: 22–88 years). Readmission rates within and beyond one month were 18.6% and 15.1%, respectively. Reduced eGFR was significantly associated with 30-day readmission (p = 0.041). For readmission beyond 30 days, significant predictors included diabetes mellitus (p = 0.014), neurologic disorders (p < 0.001), and adherence (p = 0.019). Conclusion: eGFR predicts early readmission, while diabetes mellitus, neurological disorders, and treatment adherence influence later readmissions. Identifying these factors is vital for improving patient education and reducing healthcare burdens.
