A 6-year-old boy who had a mild respiratory tract infection for 2 days awakens in the middle of the night with shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, and his parents bring him to the emergency room. His respiratory rate is 36/min and his heart rate is 150/min. he has a prolonged expiratory phase when breathing. He is afebrile. Lung auscultation reveals high-pitched, squeaky, musical breath sounds in all lung fields during inspiration and expiration. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? A. Epiglottitis B. Asthma C. Croup D. Tonsillitis E. Pneumonia

Answer B The answer is b.(Fauci, 14/e, pp 1422-1423) Asthma is an airway disease characterized by a hyperreactive tracheobronchial tree that manifests physiologically as narrowing of the airway passages, The classic triad of symptoms is dyspnea, cough, and wheezing. Attacks are usually episodic and nocturnal and often follow exposure to specific allergens, exertion, viral infection, or emotional excitement. Wheezing is described as "whistling" and is typically heard in both inspiration and expiration. The expiratory phase becomes prolonged and the patient develops tachypnea, tachycardia, and mild systolic hypertension. Accessory muscles of respiration(sternocleidomastoid and intercostals) may be used to improve breathing. If the asthma attack is severe, the patient will develop a pulsus paradoxus(an inspiratory drop in systolic blood pressure of more than 10 mm Hg). Patients with epiglottitis present with fever, drooling, and dysphagia; lung examination will be normal. Children with croup pr laryngotracheobronchitis present with labored breathing and stridor, and use accessory muscles to assist breathing.

A 60-year-old man presents to your office with an 80-pack-year history of cigarette smoking. He complains of some dyspnea on exertion. He has an asthenic body habitus and pursed-lip breathing. He has an increased anteriorposterior thickness in the thorax. Lung examination reveals decreased fremitus, hyperresonace on percussion, and diminished breath sounds. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? A. Bronchiectasis B. Asthma C. Emphysema D. Pleural effusion E. Pneumonia

Answer C The answer is c(Fauci, 14/e, pp 1451-1455) The increased antero-posterior thickness of the thorax indicates the presence of a "barrel chest", which in association with a smoking history and exertional dyspnea is a typical presentation of emphysema. Pursed-lip breathing is often a learned behavior that occurs with emphysema to prolong the expiratory phase of respiration and prevent sudden collapse of the small airways. Patients have an asthenic body habitus since energy expenditure is in excess of calorie intake. There is often hypertrophy of the accessory muscles of respiration. Breath sounds in emphysema are usually diminished and there is hyperresonace with percussion. Emphysema begins as a centriacinar process but eventually becomes panacinar, involving both the central and peripheral tissues.
