Unusual case of bullous emphysema with superimposed pneumonia
© 2023 The Authors..
Bullous emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that results from chronic inflammation of the lung parenchyma leading to alveolar destruction. Etiology includes tobacco smoking and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. In this article, we present a rare case of bullous emphysema in a nonsmoker with no genetic predisposition or social risk factors presenting with productive cough, fatigue, and shortness of breath. The patient was diagnosed with bullous emphysema with superimposed pneumonia based on clinical and radiological findings. The patients acute complaints were treated successfully with antibiotics, supplemental oxygen, systemic steroids, and, nebulizer treatments. With this case report the authors highlight an unusual presentation of pneumonia in a patient with underlying bullous emphysema. Environmental exposure is often overlooked and the outcomes cannot be turned to favor without a comprehensive approach in patient management from history and physical to deciding the right treatment and follow-up protocols.
