Abnomalities in the production and transport of airway secretions play an important role in the
pathophysiology of asthma. Segmental atelectasis as a complication of asthma, is relatively common
in children. On the other hand, massive atelectasis such as the collapse of one lung is a very
rare occurence. We report a seven-year-old male asthmatic patient with right lung collapse caused
by mucoid impaction. Fourteen... |

Diffuse myalgia is common in transient systemic viral infections but overt myositis, with weakness and signs of muscle inflammation, rarely accompanies viral infection in chidren. We describe a 8-year-old boy with severe myalgia and tenderness in both lower extremities, whose unusual skeletal muscle uptake on Technetium-methylene diphosphate bone scan helped to diagnosis of myositis. Clinical course, muscle-derived enzyme studies(AST, ALT,... |
