Controversial views exist with regards to the use of intravenous magnesium sulphate in patient with severe asthmatic attack. The benefit of intravenous magnesium sulphate may be masked by the pooling of patients with different pathophysiology. The subsets of patients with severe asthmatic attack who have not responded to nebulised bronchodilator therapy and intravenous steroid therapy may benefit from intravenous magnesium sulphate therapy.

In a review of a population of 269 asthmatic children at Children's Asthma Research Institute and Hospital (CARIH), there were three cases of pneumothorax and four with subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema. The pertinent findings, management, and outcome have been summarized. Four of the five episodes of pneumothorax occurring in three patients were treated by closed thoracotomy. Two patients experienced recurrences. A review of the literature since 1950 disclosed reports of 11 additional cases of pneumothorax or subcutaneous, mediastinal, or interstitial emphysema among asthmatic children. These are also summarized in an effort to ascertain the incidence, severity, and prognosis of these complications. It appears that such complications are not rare during a severe asthmatic attack and must always be kept in mind. It is probably wisest to evacuate extrapleural air immediately by closed thoracotomy in any asthmatic patient with spontaneous pneumothorax.

Background and Importance: Spondylodiscitis is an inflammatory disease of the body of one or more vertebrae and intervertebral disc. The fungal etiology of this disease is rare, particularly in patients without immunodeficiency. Delay in diagnosis and treatment of this disease can lead to complications and even death. Case Presentation: A 63-year-old diabetic female patient, who had a history of spinal surgery and complaining radicular lumbar pain in both lower limbs with a probable diagnosis of spondylodiscitis, underwent partial L2 and complete L3 and L4 corpectomy and fusion. As a result of pathology from tissue biopsy specimen, Aspergillus fungi were observed. There was no evidence of immunodeficiency in the patient. The patient was treated with Itraconazole 100 mg twice a day for two months. Pain, neurological symptom, and laboratory tests improved. Conclusion: The debridement surgery coupled with antifungal drugs can lead to the best therapeutic results.
