We read with interest the recent report, "Acute Airway Obstruction in Infectious Mononucleosis."1 Dr. Gutgesell appropriately has called attention to a serious complication of a usually benign disease. He mentions brief, high-dose corticosteroid therapy, tracheotomy, nasotracheal intubation, and IPPB as potential modes of therapy. The following case report suggests an additional therapeutic modality in the management of these patients. A 4-year-old girl was admitted to a community hospital in acute respiratory distress associated with suspected infectious mononucleosis.

Abstract A case of influenza-associated acute necrotizing encephalitis (ANE) is described in an otherwise healthy adult. The patient was treated successfully with a combination of high-dose methylprednisolone and high-dose oseltamivir. The patient relapsed after discontinuing 150 mg twice daily oseltamivir but quickly improved and eventually recovered after reinitiation of high-dose oseltamivir for an additional 2 weeks. The clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and treatment of influenza-associated ANE is reviewed. The use of high-dose oseltamivir in combination with methylprednisolone may offer additional therapeutic benefit for this rare and poorly understood complication of influenza infection.

A 20-year-old girl referred with vision loss upon closantel use. Plasma exchange and high-dose corticosteroid pulse therapy were administered. A 2.5-year follow-up showed improved vision and increased layer thickness of the peripheral nerve fiber. Early treatment with plasma exchange and high-dose corticosteroid therapy can be beneficial to reverse closantel toxicity.

Taxanes are widely used chemotherapeutic agents with the potential to induce pulmonary injury through a variety of mechanisms. Patients receiving these agents are at risk of acute or subacute pulmonary damage. The case is presented of a 72-year-old man with hormone-refractory prostate cancer and weekly administration of 30 mg/m2 docetaxel who developed subacute interstitial pneumonitis-related pulmonary fibrosis after seven doses and died despite mechanical ventilation and high-dose corticosteroid treatment. Even though only a few cases of this adverse event have been reported in the literature, severe docetaxel-induced pulmonary toxicity needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis when such patients present with respiratory symptoms.
