Abstract

In 2019, a respiratory infection outbreak in individuals with a history of vaping was discovered, This condition was eventually termed e-cigarette or vaping product use–associated lung injury (EVALI) after it was linked to lung damage during imaging and histopathologic examination. The exact mechanism behind the lung injury seen in EVALI is unknown. Several studies show that EVALI has been associated with the incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Nowadays, many people use Vapes/e-cigarettes, it is critical for clinicians to understand the hazards of using e-cigarettes, which can induce EVALI to ARDS. We used a number of research resources, including ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Wiley, to search, select, and choose papers about the use of electronic cigarettes or vaping devices associated to lung injury trigger Acute Respiratory Distress syndrome. The literature search yielded 330 articles, of which 21 met the selection criteria based on the title and abstract. EVALI is still a clinical diagnosis that should be considered as an exclusion because the symptoms, physical examination, serologic, radiologic, and bronchoscopy results are not specific to the illness alone. ARDS and its sequelae may be more likely to occur in patients with EVALI who also have several chronic illnesses. For individuals who use excessively and consistently over weeks or months, there is strong correlative evidence suggesting a higher risk of VAPI and potential consequences from ARDS in the absence of prompt and aggressive therapy.

Abstract

Intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) can mimic common gastrointestinal disorders and is frequently diagnosed late, particularly in resource-limited settings where microbiological confirmation is unavailable. This case report aims to describe an unusual presentation of ITB as ileocaecal perforation and to highlight diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. The method used was a descriptive case report of a 25-year-old woman who presented with watery diarrhoea, vomiting, diffuse abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, and cough, and subsequently developed generalized peritonitis requiring emergency exploratory laparotomy. Intraoperative findings revealed an ileocaecal perforation requiring segmental resection with primary anastomosis. Histopathological examination of the resected bowel and regional lymph nodes demonstrated necrotising granulomatous inflammation with caseation and Langhans-type giant cells, supporting the diagnosis of ITB. Microbiological tests such as GeneXpert and culture were not performed due to resource limitations. Postoperatively, the patient received supportive care, antibiotics, and standard anti-tuberculosis therapy. The results showed a favorable clinical outcome, with no early postoperative complications, discharge on postoperative day seven, and complete symptom resolution with weight gain and radiological improvement at follow-up. This case illustrates that when microbiological confirmation is not feasible, histopathology combined with timely surgical intervention and anti-tuberculosis therapy can support diagnosis and lead to successful management of complicated ITB.
