Abstract
Chronic Granulomatosis Disease (CGD) is an inherited immune deficiency due to a mutation in the genes coding for the subunits of the NADPH oxidase enzyme that affects the oxidative capacity of phagocytic cells. It is characterized by increased susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections, particularly Aspergillus, as well as complications associated with hyperinflammation and granulomatous tissue infiltration. There exist two types of frequently encountered pulmonary manifestations: (1) due to their being initially pauci-symptomatic, possibly life-threatening infectious complications are often discovered at a late stage. Though their incidence has decreased through systematic anti-bacterial and anti-fungal prophylaxis, they remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality; (2) inflammatory complications consist in persistent granulomatous mass or interstitial pneumoniae, eventually requiring immunosuppressive treatment. Pulmonary complications recurring since infancy generate parenchymal and bronchial sequelae that impact functional prognosis. Hematopoietic stem cell allograft is a curative treatment; it is arguably life-sustaining and may limit the morbidity of the disease. As a result of improved pediatric management, life expectancy has increased dramatically. That said, new challenges have appeared with regard to adults: difficulties of compliance, increased inflammatory manifestations, acquired resistance to anti-infectious therapies. These different developments underscore the importance of the transition period and the need for multidisciplinary management.

Abstract
We conducted a nationwide retrospective study to evaluate clinical characteristics and outcome of mucormycosis among allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Twenty-nine patients were diagnosed between 2003 and 2008. Mucormycosis occurred at a median of 225 days after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant, and as a breakthrough infection in 23 cases. Twenty-six patients were receiving steroids, mainly for graft-versus-host disease treatment, while ten had experienced a prior post-transplant invasive fungal infection. Twenty-six patients received an antifungal treatment; surgery was performed in 12. Overall survival was 34% at 3 months and 17% at 1 year.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are insufficient data regarding the efficacy and safety of vaccination in patients with auto-immune disease (AID) and/or drug-related immune deficiency (DRID). The objective of this study was to obtain professional agreement on vaccine practices in these patients. METHODS A Delphi survey was carried out with physicians recognised for their expertise in vaccinology and/or the caring for adult patients with AID and/or DRID. For each proposed vaccination practice, the experts' opinion and level of agreement were evaluated. RESULTS The proposals relating to patients with AID specified: the absence of risk of AID relapse following vaccination; the possibility of administering live virus vaccines (LVV) to patients not receiving immunosuppressants; the pertinence of determining protective antibody titre before vaccination; the absence of need for specific monitoring following the vaccination. The proposals relating to patients with DRID specified that a 3-6 month delay is needed between the end of these treatments and the vaccination with LVV. There is no contraindication to administering LVV in patients receiving systemic corticosteroids prescribed for less than two weeks, regardless of their dose, or at a daily dose not exceeding 10mg of prednisone, if this involves prolonged treatment. Out of 14 proposals, the level of agreement between the experts was "very good" for eleven, and "good" for the remaining three. CONCLUSION Proposals for vaccine practices in patients with AID and/or DRID should aid with decision-making in daily medical practice and provide better vaccine coverage for these patients.

Abstract
AIM A multicentre retrospective study was undertaken to examine patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) with the initial clinical manifestation of an anti-synthetase syndrome (anti-Jo-1 antibodies), and to analyse the characteristics and long-term outcome of these patients according to their clinical presentation (acute or gradual onset), treatment and adverse events related to treatment. METHODS 32 patients, 15 (47%) presenting with acute onset and associated respiratory insufficiency (group A) and 17 (53%) with gradual onset (group G) were examined. Myositis was diagnosed at admission in only 31% of cases and was observed during follow-up in 56% of cases, but the prevalence did not differ between the two groups. RESULTS Fever and radiological patterns including diffuse patchy ground-glass opacities, basal irregular lines and consolidation on high-resolution CT scan were more frequent in group A than in group G. More patients in group G had neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and autoantibodies other than anti-Jo-1 (rheumatoid factor, anti SSa/SSb) than in group A. The percentage of patients in whom the ILD improved at 3 months was significantly higher in group A than in group G (13/15 vs 9/17; p = 0.006). In contrast, after 12 months, most patients with ILD progression were in group A and were treated with corticosteroids alone. A combination of corticosteroids and an immunosuppressive drug was required in most cases (84%) at the end of the follow-up period. Severe adverse effects of treatment were observed and varicella zoster virus infection was frequent. CONCLUSIONS Early testing for anti-synthetase antibodies, particularly anti-Jo-1, and creatine kinase determination are useful procedures in patients presenting with ILD. Treatment with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs is required in most patients. At the end of the study, around two-thirds of patients had stable ILD while the other third had disease progression with respiratory insufficiency.

Abstract
Aging is associated with a progressive decrease in lung function. As a consequence of aging, individual's reserve is diminished, but this decrease is heterogeneous between individual subjects. Many factors are involved in the overall decline in lung function. The prevalence of asthma in the elderly is estimated between 6 and 10%. Mortality due to COPD is increasing, especially among older subjects. Older subjects are at an increased risk of developing chronic diseases such as Parkinson's disease, which can have consequences for lung function. Under-nutrition is also common in the elderly and can produce sarcopenia and skeletal muscle dysfunction. The presentation of respiratory disorders may differ in the elderly, especially because of a lack of perception of symptoms such as dyspnea. The impact of bronchodilatators or corticosteroids on respiratory function has not been studied in the elderly. Drugs usually used for the treatment of hypertension or arrhythmias, which are often observed with aging, can have pulmonary toxicity. There is no difference between functional evaluation in younger and older subjects but it is more difficult to find predicted values for older patients. Performing pulmonary function tests in older patients is often difficult because of a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment and/or poor coordination. When assessing pulmonary function in the elderly, the choice of tests will be depend on the circumstances, with the use of voluntary manoeuvres dependent on the condition of the patient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In France, the average age for the diagnosis of bronchial carcinoma is 64. It is 76 in the population of over 70. In fact, its incidence increases with age linked intrinsic risk of developing a cancer and with general ageing of the population. Diagnosis tools are the same for elderlies than for younger patients, and positive diagnosis mainly depends on fibreoptic bronchoscopy, complications of which being comparable to those observed in younger patients. STATE OF THE ART The assessment of dissemination has been modified in recent years by the availability of PET scanning which is increasingly becoming the examination of choice for preventing unnecessary surgical intervention, a fortiori in elderly subjects. Cerebral imaging by tomodensitometry and nuclear magnetic resonance should systematically be obtained before proposing chirurgical treatment. An assessment of the general state of health of the elderly subject is an essential step before the therapeutic decision is made. This depends on the concept of geriatric evaluation: Geriatric Multidimensional Assessment, and the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment which concerns overall competence of the elderly. PERSPECTIVES This is a global approach that allows precise definition and ranking of the patient's problems and their impact on daily life and social environment. Certain geriatric variables (IADL, BADL, MMSE, IMC etc) may be predictive of survival rates after chemotherapy or the incidence of complications following thoracic surgery. The main therapeutic principles for the management of bronchial carcinoma are applicable to the elderly subject; long term survival without relapse after surgical resection is independent of age. Whether the oncological strategy is curative or palliative, the elderly patient with bronchial carcinoma should receive supportive treatments. They should be integrated into a palliative programme if such is the case. In fact, age alone is not a factor that should detract from optimal oncological management. CONCLUSIONS The development of an individual management programme for an elderly patient suffering from bronchial carcinoma should be based on the combination of oncological investigation and comprehensive geriatric assessment.

Abstract
The high frequency of pulmonary complications of haematological malignancy and the increasing number of patients treated for these disorders make it important that the respiratory physician has a structured diagnostic approach according to: 1 the immune deficiency due to the malignancy and/or the treatment administered; 2 the factors that can modify the risk of infection (anti infection prophylaxis and/or pre-emptive treatment); 3 co-morbidities; 4 extra-pulmonary manifestations. Two main situations can be identified: The patient is aplasic: Initially the pneumonias are predominantly of bacterial origin but may be fungal if the neutropenia is prolonged. The respiratory physician is faced with two problems: 1 the diagnosis of pneumonia; this may be helped by CT scanning; 2 The choice of antibiotics; this will depend on previous investigations. The patient is not aplasic: The lung disease may have many causes, mainly infectious but also drug related, tumoral, haemorrhagic or embolic. The main problem is the correct choice of investigations to establish an aetiological diagnosis. The collection of data according to a pre-established protocol based on simple factors (study of the notes and clinical examination) is one of the key elements for improving the prognosis of these patients whose management should be multidisciplinary following a pre-defined plan.

Abstract
Diagnosing catheter-related bloodstream infections is important but not always easy and a failure to make the diagnosis may have serious consequences. A high rate of unnecessary catheter removal is noted. We retrospectively compared the clinical and usual methods of microbiological diagnoses of catheter-related sepsis to the speed of detection of the catheter versus peripheral blood cultures using the Bact-Alert system. We analyzed 50 files of patients with central indwelling devices: 16 single lumen catheters and 34 implanted ports. Twenty-one catheters were classified as infected, and we observed an earlier positivity of catheter versus peripheral blood in all cases, but significant for 19 patients. According to standard diagnosis methods, 29 catheters were estimated non-infected, a more rapid detection of peripheral culture was reported for 17 specimens and, for another eight patients, the time of detection was equal to blood culture drawn from the catheter. In this group, four discrepancies were recorded with a differential time in favor of sepsis related to catheters ranging from 0.5 to 2 hours. Because of its simplicity and low cost, we believed that this method could be the first step of a diagnosis of catheter-related sepsis and could, therefore, avoid unjustified removal, in particular for the implanted ports for which the diagnostic methods are less codified than for catheters. A prospective study is ongoing; the design of the study focuses only on implanted ports.

Abstract
p53 tumour suppressor gene alterations are one of the most frequent genetic events in lung cancer. A subset of patients with p53 mutation and cancer exhibited circulating serum anti-p53 self-antibodies (p53-Ab). The prevalence of these antibodies in lung cancer is currently being analysed in a multicentric study. In a group of homogeneous SCLC patients, p53-Ab were detected in 20/97 (20.6%) individuals. In this group of patients, Cox's multivariate analysis identified disease extent (p = 0.022), WHO initial performance status greater than 0 (p = 0.005), and the absence of a complete response after 6 months of treatment (p < 0.0001) as independent prognostic variables, with p53-Ab being of borderline significance (p = 0.051). In the subset of limited-stage SCLC patients, Cox's multivariate analysis found p53-Ab (p = 0.033), WHO initial performance status greater than 0 (p = 0.028), and absence of a complete response (p < 0.001) to be independent prognostic variables. Thus, actuarial analysis showed that patients with limited-stage SCLC and p53-Ab had a median survival time of 10 months, whereas limited-stage SCLC patients without p53-Ab had a 17-month median survival time (p = 0.014).Therefore, serum assay of p53-Ab could help to identify a population of SCLC patients with an especially poor prognosis. This population could represent patients with tumours harboring aggressive p53 mutations.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) are clonal proliferation of B or T lymphocytes. Assessment of clonality in lymphoid proliferations uses immunochemistry and, recently, molecular biology. The aim of our study is to assess the role of immunoglobulin gene rearrangement analysis on bronchoalveolar lymphocytes to aid in the diagnosis of B-cell pulmonary NHL. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study took place in a university hospital. There were seven consecutive patients with B-cell-type pulmonary lymphoma and nine control subjects. Gene rearrangement analysis using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was performed on alveolar lymphocytes recovered by BAL. RESULTS Analysis of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement showed a predominant clonal alveolar lymphocyte population in six of seven patients while all control subjects showed germline pattern. CONCLUSIONS Gene rearrangement analysis by PCR of alveolar lymphocytes would appear to be sensitive in patients with B-cell pulmonary NHL (six of seven patients) and specific (zero of nine in the control group). This simple test should be added only in the analysis of cells recovered by BAL in patients with suspected primary and secondary B-cell pulmonary NHL.

Abstract
A retrospective study of 19 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens from 14 HIV-positive subjects with subacute encephalopathy, neuropathy, or unexplained peripheral myelopathy was done comparatively with plasma specimens collected on the same day and tested in the same run as the corresponding CSF specimen. A single patient had a high HIV RNA level in CSF as compared to plasma (CSF/plasma ratio > 10), which seemed correlated with the clinical course. Further studies are needed to confirm that a high CSF/plasma HIV RNA ratio is associated with greater symptom severity.

Abstract
The authors report a case of giant cell myocarditis leading to rapidly progressive cardiac failure despite immuno-suppressor treatment in a 20 year old woman. The cardiac failure was successfully managed by implantation of a left ventricular assist device and then cardiac transplantation. The problems encountered underline the importance of accurate diagnosis by endomyocardial biopsy before undertaking treatment and the difficulties in the choice of appropriate method of assistance in this indication. Giant cell myocarditis is a rare cause of cardiac failure and should be considered in the differential diagnosis in view of its clinical features and risk of progression. The literature and the therapeutic implications are discussed.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Decreased susceptibility to penicillin G of pneumococcal strains is continuously increasing in France. OBJECTIVE We assessed effect of resistance to penicillin on therapeutic management and mortality in adults with pneumococcal pneumonia in our hospital. METHODS This one-year retrospective study (1995) included patients with proven pneumococcal infection (positive blood culture, pleural fluid, or specimens from the lower respiratory tract). Strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae were screened for susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Resistance to penicillin G was defined as a minimal inhibitory concentration > or = 0.12 microgram/ml. Age immune and nosocomial status, first and second line antibiotherapy and death were compared according to the strains susceptibility to penicillin G. A p value below 0.05 was statistically significant. RESULTS In 15 cases a pneumococcal strain susceptible to penicillin G was isolated while 23 patients were infected with a strain with a decreased susceptibility to penicillin G. Age was significantly higher in the latest group (61.6 versus 54.7 years) while no difference was noted between the 2 groups according to immune and nosocomial status, therapeutic management and death. DISCUSSION Resistance to penicillin did neither appear to increase mortality nor to influence therapeutic management in patients with pneumococcal infection.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been associated with a wide spectrum of pulmonary disease. We report three HIV-seropositive patients with rapidly worsening airway obstruction associated with bronchiectasis. All subjects (age range 33-39 yrs) were cigarette smokers. Two had previously used intravenous drugs. The CD4 lymphocyte count ranged 40-250 cells x mm(-3). All individuals had complained of increasing dyspnoea for 3-6 months. Within 1 yr, they all developed severe airway obstruction with a decrease in both forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and ratio of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) to less than 60% of predicted value, and a decrease in mean forced expiratory flow at 25-75% of the forced vital capacity (FEF25-75) to less than 35% of predicted value. Computed tomography of the chest disclosed bilateral dilated and thickened bronchi. No classical causes of genetic or acquired bronchiectasis were identified in our patients. Recurrent bacterial bronchitis occurred in the follow-up period of the three patients. In conclusion, unusually rapid airway obstruction associated with bronchiectasis should be added to the wide spectrum of respiratory complications of human immunodeficiency virus infection.

Abstract
We reviewed the records of 15 Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC). PC was the first AIDS-defining manifestation in nine patients. HIV infection was identified simultaneously with the onset of PC in 4 patients. The CD4+ lymphocyte count was low in all cases (median, 24/m3). Chest radiography showed interstitial infiltrates in 13 instances, associated with pleural effusion in 5 cases and hilar adenopathy in 2 cases. In one case, chest-X-ray showed isolated pleural effusion and was normal in one patient. For 11 of 12 patients, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid culture was positive for Cryptococcus neoformans. Seven of 15 patients had evidence of extrapulmonary cryptococcal disease with positive cerebrospinal fluid culture. Serum cryptococcal antigen was detected in all 15 patients. Concomitant lung infection with Pneumocystis carinii was diagnosed in 4 patients. First-line regimen was fluconazole in 10 patients and amphotericin B in 4 patients. Fluconazole has been prescribed in 7 patients as a permanent suppressive therapy and should be continued indefinitely.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is often suspected as the causal agent in lung disease occurring in various immunodepressive states: AIDS, organ transplantation, bone marrow graft. The mechanisms involved in these three situations is however quite different. The role played by the cytopathogenic effect of the virus and the immune reaction of the host vary considerably depending on the underlying immunodepression. Thus, the criteria allowing to distinguish between CMV infection (presence of the virus or anti-CMV antibodies, no clinical signs) and CMV disease (generalized or organ specific disease resulting from the pathogenic effect of CMV replication) lack precision. The aim of this review of the literature is to assess the implicated immunovirology mechanism and thus the diagnostic (and thus therapeutic) criteria of CMV lung diseases. There is a graduation scale from AIDS, to organ transplantation and bone marrow allograft in the degree of immune reaction implicated in the lung disease and thus the need and timing of antiviral treatment. In AIDS, an interstitial pneumonia, associated with an isolation of CMV (whatever the sample origin, blood, bronchoalveolar lavage or the isolation technique) does not usually implicate treatment. Treatment may be indicated in rare cases (advanced stage immunodepression, high virus titre, endothelial involvement) or in cases in which the infection is also located in other organs. For organ transplantation, observation of CMV in blood or lavage samples in a patient with clinical or radiological signs would justify treatment. For lung transplantation, more so than for any other organ, treatment should be started early whenever respiratory signs are associated with evidence of CMV infection. Finally, in bone marrow allografts, the high rate of failure when pneumonitis has become patent implicates starting treatment immediately upon diagnosis of CMV infection. The strategy proposed here is based on a certain rationale but can be open to discussion. Controlled clinical trials are required to determine the most rigorous and coherent attitude. Finally, within the framework of the diseases examined here, search for lung disease caused by cytomegalovirus should not mask other organ localizations in, for example, the retina, the digestive tract.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We analyzed the clinical and biological characteristics as well as the clinical course and outcome observed in 20 patients with antiphospholipid antibodies and clinical signs including thrombosis or repeated spontaneous abortion to better identify the recently described antiphospholipid syndrome. METHODS We retrospectively studied all patients observed in our unit from 1981 to 1992 who fulfilled the following inclusion criteria: a) at least one episode of arterial or venous thrombosis and/or repeated spontaneous abortions, b) positive for antiphospholipid antibodies. RESULTS Twenty patients were included, 3 with systemic lupus erythematosus (according to the American Rheumatism Association criteria). Arterial or venous thrombosis occurred in 9 and 16 respectively, including exceptional cases of cerebral phlebitis and thrombosis of dermal capillaries. High blood pressure was recorded in 8. Only 1 or 2 types of antiphospholipid antibodies were found in most patients. Anticardiolipin, a circulating anticoagulant and a false-positive Bordet-Wassermann reaction were found together in only 3 out of 16. In addition, the antibody level varied independently from the thrombotic events. There was no case with a clinical course from primary antiphospholipid syndrome to systemic erythromatosus lupus. The effect to treatment on occurrence of new thrombotic events was studied. Three patients suffered one or more haemorrhagic events during antivitamin K treatment. CONCLUSION It is difficult to establish a differentiation between primary antiphospholipid syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus-like syndromes, and precise methods of identifying antiphospholipid antibodies should be further developed.

Abstract
A patient developed an interstitial pneumonitis while receiving chlorambucil for a chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cumulative dose, 8,340 mg). Withdrawal of drug treatment was followed by rapid improvement in the clinical condition. Bronchoalveolar lavage showed a T-lymphocytic alveolitis, whereas blood lymphocytes were predominantly of the B phenotype. The T-lymphocytic alveolitis persisted 6 weeks after drug therapy cessation with a predominant CD8+ phenotype, as observed in some hypersensitivity pneumonitis induced by drugs.

Abstract
Three patients with lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (two HIV 1+ patients with chronic lymphadenopathic syndromes and one with a not-characterized autoimmune disease) have been studied with high-resolution computed tomography (HR-CT). This technique reveals septal lines, small reticulonodular opacities, polyhedral micronodular opacities, "ground-glass" opacities and a dense, subpleural, curved broken line in one patient. The lesions dominate in the bases of the lungs. They are not characteristic for lymphoid interstitial pneumonia. If a patient present with a chronic lymphadenopathic syndrome, the diagnosis of an opportunistic infection should not be automatically made, since the syndrome can be caused by lymphoid interstitial pneumonia.

PATIENTS Consecutive sample of 21 patients with tropical spastic paraparesis associated with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 infection. INTERVENTIONS Chest roentgenogram and bronchoalveolar lavage were done in all patients. Fifteen patients had pulmonary function tests. Alveolar T-lymphocyte subsets were analysed in 10 patients and thoracic computed tomographic scans were done in 10 patients. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS All patients were free of clinical pulmonary symptoms and had normal chest roentgenograms. Thoracic computed tomographic scans were normal in 9 of 10 patients and showed mild interstitial pneumonitis in 1. Pulmonary function tests were within the normal range in 13 patients and showed a mild restrictive syndrome in 2. Eighteen patients had increased absolute numbers of alveolar lymphocytes (mean, 77 +/- 39 X 10(3) lymphocytes/mL; range, 13.5 X 10(3) to 259 X 10(3) lymphocytes/mL). Sixteen patients had percentages of alveolar lymphocytes higher than 20% of all alveolar cells (mean, 33.5 +/- 12.7; range, 9 to 69). In all 10 patients tested, 64.2% +/- 13.2% of alveolar lymphocytes were CD8+ cells. CONCLUSIONS Excessive absolute numbers and percentages of alveolar lymphocytes were observed in 18 and 16 patients, respectively. Most alveolar lymphocytes were CD8+ cells.
