CASE STUDIES

1. DR Awadhesh kr sharma,SR DEPTT OF MEDICINE MLB MEDICAL COLLEGE JHANSI(UP) Two Case studies

2. TWO CASE STUDIES

3. CASE - I

6. Past history – no h/o DM, HTN & TB. Personnel history – Patient is chronic bidi smoker for 48 years, he used to smoke 30 bidi per day. Smoking index = 48 x 30 = 1440 i.e. > 300

7. General examination – Built – Average PR – 82/min BP- 110/80 mm of Hg RR – 16 / min Temp – afebrile Pallar--- ++ Cyanosis – absent Clubbing – absent Icterus – absent Lymph node enlargement – absent JVP – not raised

9. INVESTIGATIONS

13. On the basis of above history, examination and investigations the presumptive diagnosis is------ Right middle and lower lobe consolidation with cavitation

17. So we think in terms of lung malignancy, & go for HRCT which shows –

19. Then we done USG guided FNAC of the lesion which confirms it to be squamous cell carcinoma involving rt middle & lower lobe of lung.

26. CASE – II

29. Past history – no h/o DM, HTN, TB Personnel history – Non bidi smoker Family history – not significant On Examination PR – 100/min, regular, normovolumic, normal in character without any radiofemoral and radioradial delay. BP – 90/60 mmHg in right arm in supine position. RR – 22/min, regular, thoracoabdominal Temp – N SpO2 – 86% without O2 Pallar-absent Cyanosis-absent Clubbing-absent Icterus-absent Lymphadenopathy-absent JVP – raised, cv wave present Pedal edema--- +

38. So, final diagnosis is pulmonary hypertension associated with lung disease and or hypoxemia cause COAD.
