Abstract

Some diseases like acute myocardial infarction, sudden death and stroke have been reported to disclose daily, weekly or annual incidence fluctuations. We analyzed the rhythm of pulmonary edema occurrence. We considered 105 consecutive subjects (mean age 73.7 +/- 9.7 years) who came to an Emergency Department because of acute pulmonary edema during a solar year. Chronobiologic analysis was performed using Halberg single cosinor test. Pulmonary edema incidence was higher during the night with an acrophase at 2:14 a.m. (p < 0.001). No significant weekly or circannual rhythms were detected. We discuss the possible relations with diminished heart output, increase in sympathetic tone or partial baroceptor desensitization, occurring at night.

Abstract

The authors investigated the incidence of pulmonary complications following immunosuppression with monoclonal antibodies (OKT3) in a series of 100 consecutive cases of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Of 17 patients treated with OKT3 (16 for acute rejection and 1 for cyclosporine toxicity), 11 pulmonary infections were observed (65%), 9 of which (53%) with onset within a mean of 9 days after OKT3 administration. The infections were severe in all cases and lethal in 8 cases: the most common pathogens were Candida (4 cases) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3 cases). On the contrary, of 39 cases of rejection treated with steroids, infections were observed in 3 cases only (8%). The 53% incidence of pulmonary infections in OKT3 patients, significantly higher than in the extant patients (19%), confirms OKT3 treatment as a strong risk factor for severe pulmonary infections. Furthermore, the occurrence of pulmonary edema was directly related to OKT3 administration in 7 OKT3 patients (41%), whereas only 20 cases (24%) occurred in the extant OLT patients (p < 0.001). OKT3-related pulmonary edema was always observed in hyperhydrated patients at the time of drug administration and it seemed to be related to the vasoactive myocardiotoxic agents released by damaged T-cells.
