A Klebsiella pneumoniae expressing carbapenemase type 2 (KPC-2) enzyme has been identified in Sweden. The patient, who had a history of chronic obstructive lung disease, developed a respiratory tract infection while on holiday in Greece. After initial intensive care treatment in Greece, the patient was transferred to Sweden.

The incidence of adverse effects from transdermal nitroglycerin systems is reported to be very low. A cutaneous reaction from Transderm-Nitro is described. The patient in this case was a 63-year-old male with a history of chronic obstructive lung disease, adult onset diabetes mellitus, peptic ulcer disease, congestive heart failure, and angina pectoris. Seven weeks after having used a Transderm-Nitro-5 patch daily, the patient was found to have two macular erythematous areas on his chest that corresponded to the exact sites of the nitroglycerin patch. Follow-up with the same patient, using a placebo Transderm-Nitro, elicited a reaction similar in appearance. The exact causative agent is unknown, but it is believed to be from the transdermal delivery system and not the nitroglycerin.

INTRODUCTION Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is one of the commonest cause of mortality and morbidity in our country. It is dened as “a common preventable and treatable disease characterised by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases.” COPD is currently fourth leading cause of death in the world1 but is projected to be the third leading cause of death by 2020. Advances in understanding the pathogenesis of COPD have the potential for identifying new therapeutic targets that could alter the natural history of this devastating disorder.
