RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAMs) are a heterogenous collection of congenital lung malformations, often diagnosed prenatally. The Stocker Type III CPAM is a rare CPAM sub-type, and, when large, may be associated with hydrops. Furthermore, reports of CPAM management which may include surgical resection in extreme preterm infants are limited. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a female neonate born at 28 weeks of gestation with severe respiratory distress and diffuse pulmonary opacification on the right concerning for a large congenital lung lesion. This lesion was not detected on routine antenatal imaging, and she did not have clinical findings of associated hydrops. Her respiratory status improved dramatically after surgical resection of a mass at 12 day of age. The mass was consistent pathologically with a Stocker Type III CPAM. Lung expansion showed subsequent improvement at 16 months of age. CONCLUSIONS: Our case describes a preterm neonate with severe respiratory distress that was found postnatally to have a large, unilateral congenital lung lesion despite a normal prenatal ultrasound. Additionally, this lesion required excision early in life due to severity of respiratory compromise. This case highlights that rare congenital lung lesions, like this rare sub-type of CPAM, should remain a diagnostic consideration in neonates with severe respiratory distress. Early lung resection for CPAM in preterm infants is not well described and the favorable outcomes of this case help expand perspectives on potential management strategies.

RESUMO

Children with medical complexity (CMC) have warranted substantial individual provider commitment for pediatric management. New drivers have prompted program creation that focuses even greater care on this small, increasingly influential population. These drivers include enhancing care coordination, aligning value-based reimbursement strategies and managing higher patient acuity in non-hospital environments. This article will review management of CMC and highlight the Complex Medical Care Program at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri.

RESUMO

Our objectives were to characterise the microbiota in cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and determine its relationship to inflammation and disease status.BALF from paediatric and adult CF patients and paediatric disease controls undergoing clinically indicated bronchoscopy was analysed for total bacterial load and for microbiota by 16S rDNA sequencing.We examined 191 BALF samples (146 CF and 45 disease controls) from 13 CF centres. In CF patients aged <2 years, nontraditional taxa (e.gStreptococcus, Prevotella and Veillonella) constituted ∼50% of the microbiota, whereas in CF patients aged ≥6 years, traditional CF taxa (e.gPseudomonas, Staphylococcus and Stenotrophomonas) predominated. Sequencing detected a dominant taxon not traditionally associated with CF (e.gStreptococcus or Prevotella) in 20% of CF BALF and identified bacteria in 24% of culture-negative BALF. Microbial diversity and relative abundance of Streptococcus, Prevotella and Veillonella were inversely associated with airway inflammation. Microbiota communities were distinct in CF compared with disease controls, but did not differ based on pulmonary exacerbation status in CF.The CF microbiota detected in BALF differs with age. In CF patients aged <2 years, Streptococcus predominates, whereas classic CF pathogens predominate in most older children and adults.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: This is the first published report of a young girl with co-inherited sickle cell-ß+ thalassemia and cystic fibrosis. Although a small subset of patients with co-inherited cystic fibrosis and other hemoglobinopathies have been reported, this patient developed early hematologic and pulmonary complications that were more severe than the previous cases. To assess pulmonary co-morbidities, we used infant pulmonary function testing through the raised volume rapid thoracoabdominal compression technique as both an established study of early cystic fibrosis and also as a newer study of mechanism for early sickle cell lung disease. This further serves as the first report of the raised volume rapid thoracoabdominal compression technique to determine raised volume forced expiratory flows and fractional lung volumes in a patient with a hemoglobinopathy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 2-year-old African-American girl with co-inherited cystic fibrosis and sickle cell-ß+ thalassemia developed severe hematologic complications (recurrent vaso-occlusive events, hepatic sequestration, and acute chest syndrome) during periods of cystic fibrosis pulmonary exacerbations and weight loss. Because cystic fibrosis and sickle cell-ß+ thalassemia both confer distinct patterns of pulmonary disease, infant pulmonary function testing with the raised volume rapid thoracoabdominal compression technique was used to define respiratory pathophysiology and guide treatment options. Infant pulmonary function testing data demonstrated moderate-to-severe lower airways obstruction, moderate air trapping, and no evidence of restrictive lung disease. CONCLUSIONS: Infant pulmonary function testing with the raised volume rapid thoracoabdominal compression technique guided therapy in this patient with cystic fibrosis and sickle cell-ß+ thalassemia. Although this is an original case report on a unique patient, this case highlights the need to evaluate early respiratory pathophysiology in a broader population of young patients with hemoglobinopathies and screen those at risk for early pulmonary co-morbidities.
