Repeated pneumonias in children with dysplasia of the connective tissue: retrospective clinical-and-morphological trial
Abstract
An analysis of medical documents and morphological examination of resected lung samples was done in 25 children had been operated for repeated pneumonias. All the children (100 %) were diagnosed undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (CTD) with marked clinical features. Morphological substrate of the repeated pneumonias was various defects of the lung growth. The results showed that the CTD as a genetic systemic pathology provided repeated pneumonias in structural abnormalities of the lungs. This fact should be taken into account in the diagnostic work-up.
