High Burden

Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is often associated with tuberculosis, especially in a high burden country like India. We present a case of an asymptomatic female, who had mediastinal lymphadenopathy and middle lobe collapse, both of which pointed towards a diagnosis of tuberculosis. Patient was later diagnosed as a case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) on basis of clinical, radiological and serological findings. Hence, even in a high burden country and in background of bronchial asthma, ABPA should be kept as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with mediastinal lymphadenopathy

Normal Subjects

1. In four normal subjects and 51 patients with chronic bronchitis-emphysema, bronchial asthma and pulmonary fibrosis, the VD/VT ratio was measured by a helium washout technique (w VD/VT) and by the conventional Bohr's method using the arterial CO2 tension (VD/VT). 2. In 16 patients the w VD/VT ratio was compared with that calculated from Bohr's equation with the alveolar CO2 tension measured by the rebreathing technique (A VD/VT). 3. It was found that the values for the VD/VT ratio obtained by the helium washout technique were very close to those obtained by the conventional method using the Paco2 or P¯Aco2 values.
