Langerhans' Cell Histiocytosis

Langerhans' Cell Histiocytosis

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease involving clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells, abnormal cells deriving from bone marrow and capable of migrating from skin to lymph nodes. The disease has gone by several names, including Hand–Schüller–Christian disease, Abt-Letterer-Siwe disease, and histiocytosis X, until it was renamed in 1985.

Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage Syndrome

Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage Syndrome

Bleeding into the alveolar spaces characterizes the syndrome of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) and is due to disruption of the alveolar-capillary basement membrane. This is caused by injury or inflammation of the arterioles, venules, or alveolar septal (alveolar wall or interstitial) capillaries. Hemoptysis is the usual presenting symptom; however it is not always present, even when hemorrhage is severe.
