Introduction• Increase in immunocompromised patient
population : a product of modern medicine • Prolonged survival & treatment of childhood
malignancy • Organ transplantation • Immunosuppressive therapy • HIV-AIDS
• Extensive variety of etiologic agents • Urgent need to establish a diagnosis:- rapid
progress & serious consequences

Causes of Pulmonary Infiltrates in Immunocompromised Patients• Infection: usual infections + opportunistic
infections – Bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus
aureus) – Fungi (Aspergillus, Mucormycosis, Candida) – PCP (Pneumocystis jirovecii) – Viruses (CMV, VZV, HSV, RSV, parainfluenza,
influenza, adenovirus) –Mycobacteria (MTB & NTM) – Parasites
![Page 5: Pulmonary Infiltrates Secondary Immunodefficiencyespai-eg.org/Pulmonary infiltrates.pdf · 2014-12-13 · Radiation Cryptococcus Aspergillus Legionela Nocardia Bacterial abscess Septic](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042315/5f03ec037e708231d40b6e73/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Causes of Pulmonary Infiltrates in Immunocompromised Patients• Non Infectious – Pulmonary edema – Progression of underlying disease – Radiation toxicity – Drug toxicity – DAH – Engraftment syndromep – Idiopathic pneumonia syndrome – Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia
(BOOP) – Secondary alveolar proteinosis – PTLD (in SOT & HSCT) – TRALI
![Page 6: Pulmonary Infiltrates Secondary Immunodefficiencyespai-eg.org/Pulmonary infiltrates.pdf · 2014-12-13 · Radiation Cryptococcus Aspergillus Legionela Nocardia Bacterial abscess Septic](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042315/5f03ec037e708231d40b6e73/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Drugs associated with pulmonary toxicity• Alkylating agents – Busulfan, Chlorambucil, Cyclophosphamide
• Antimetabolites – Azathioprine, Cytosine arabinoside, Fludarabine,
Gemcitibine, Methotrexate • Cytotoxic antibiotics – Bleomycin, Dactinomycin, Mitomycin
• Nitrosoureas – BCNU (carmustine), CCNU (lomustine)
• Assorted agents – Antithymocyte globulin, Doxorubicin, Interleukin-2,
Procarbazine, Sirolimus, Taxanes, Vinca alkaloids

General Considerations• Nature of the immune defect
• Multiple immune defects may be present • Neutropenia:
• usual cut-off is 500-1000 /cu mm, the lower the cell count, the higher the risk for infection 1
• more infections are encountered when neutropenia > 30 days 2
• The duration of immunosuppression: • acute immunosuppression e.g. chemotherapy predisposes
to infection more than chronic e.g. congenital neutropenia. • A longer “acute” neutropenia predisposes to fungal
infections

Risks From Treatment of Hematologic Malignancies• Neutropenia from chemotherapy • Mucositis, radiation & indwelling catheters • Hodgkin’s disease/splenectomy – Streptococcus pneumoniae, H. influenzae, N.
meningitidis • HSCT & GVHD – Fungal, mycobacterial and viral

General Considerations• INTERVENTIONS: e.g. Indwelling catheter
/ medication • INITIAL radiologic pattern • RATE of progress of symptoms • TEMPORAL association: e.g. Organ
transplantation • ASSOCIATED symptoms • Degree of RESIDUAL host immunity
![Page 12: Pulmonary Infiltrates Secondary Immunodefficiencyespai-eg.org/Pulmonary infiltrates.pdf · 2014-12-13 · Radiation Cryptococcus Aspergillus Legionela Nocardia Bacterial abscess Septic](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042315/5f03ec037e708231d40b6e73/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Intervention• A source of infection: e.g. indwelling catheter
>> hematogenous seeding of lung & pneumonia – Staphylococcus, candida
• Inhaled pentamidine >> PCP confined in apices (resemble TB)
• Radiation therapy >> sparing PCP in certain areas.
• TMP/SMX prophylaxis ↓↓ PCP incidence
• BSA >> predisposes to fungal infection

Residual Host Immunity
• Fungal pulmonary infections : – chemotherapy-induced neutropenia >> mild clinical &
radiological changes – neutrophil count rises & often >> significant
inflammation, lung destruction & cavitation and may >> clinical deterioration.
• PCP improves with corticosteroid therapy in AIDS patients suggesting an inflammatory immune response

Conclusion • Pulmonary infiltrates in the imunocompromised
child present a clinical challenge & carry a significant risk of morbidity & mortality
• No one pattern of symptoms or radiographic findings is conclusive for diagnosis >>
• Approach to each patient must be individualized
• Early and aggressive specific diagnosis increases the likelihood of survival
