The results of observations over 61 patients suffering pneumosclerosis and chronic lung emphysema, associated with secondary gastroduodenal ulcers, are reported. These made 20.2% among 302 patients with gastroduodenal hemorrhages. The clinic of these ulcers in a third of patients having cardiopulmonary insufficiency is characterized by few or no symptoms at all, that would handicap their diagnosis. For timely prevention of grave complications the authors recommend a careful examination of the gastrointestinal tract in all patients with persistant chronic lung affections, who complain of abdominal pains and dyspepsia.

A 49-year-old female presented with diarrhea and a high fever followed by progressive dyspnea. Until this presentation, she had been healthy except for chronic dyspepsia and diarrhea. She had a smoking habit of 15 pack-years. Laboratory tests revealed lymphopenia, hypoalbuminemia and hypogammaglobulinemia. A rapid influenza test in combination with an RT-PCR assay revealed the presence of the novel influenza A (H1N1) virus. Chest computed tomography revealed centrilobular emphysema. This report suggests that regular smoking may become a risk for severe pneumonia in patients presenting with the novel influenza A (H1N1) virus, when accompanying asymptomatic emphysema is combined with other problems such as hypoalbuminemia and hypogammaglobulinemia.
