Fatal hemorrhagic pneumonia caused by infection due to Kytococcus sedentarius--a pathogen or passenger?
A 55-year old man developed a hemorrhagic pneumonia, likely due to infection with Kytococcus sedentarius during neutropenia following induction chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia. Severe mucosal barrier injury and the selective pressure of broad-spectrum antibiotics probably made it possible for this normally harmless commensal to penetrate the gut, spread through the blood stream, and invade the lungs.

Varicella Pneumonia in an Immunocompetent Middle-aged Adult Male: A Case Report.
Varicella pneumonia is uncommon among adults and can present as potentially life-threatening complications of varicella. Here we report a case of a 43-year-old man with no known history of chronic disease and no allergic history who presented to our hospital emergency department with widespread skin eruptions over the entire body and hemoptysis. Varicella pneumonia was diagnosed based on the patient being in contact with his 6-year-old son who had contracted chickenpox 10 days back, typical cutaneous lesions, pulmonary symptoms and radiographic findings. The patient was treated with oral acyclovir and was admitted to the intensive care unit for monitoring. The patient recovered completely after 10 days of treatment.. chickenpox; pneumonia; skin eruptions.

[Two cases of severe adult varicella pneumonia].
Varicella pneumonia is the most common complication of adult varicella. Symptoms may be severe and the mortality rate high in patients who are immunodeficient or pregnant. Symptoms may be mild and progression more favorable in adults previously in good health. We report two cases of varicella infection complicated by severe pulmonary involvement in adult patients who were previously healthy. Case 1 was a 36-year-old male who 6 days after developing varicella was clinically observed to have dyspnea and hemopytsis. He died of acute respiratory failure on the following day. Case 2 was a 28-year-old male whose respiratory symptoms started the third day after developing varicella. These symptoms were relieved by treatment with acyclovir and gammaglobulin. Careful observation is and an early treatment of varicella should be undertaken not only for patients with suppressed cellular immunity, but also for healthy adults, to prevent severe complications.
