The prognostic risk factors in 4323 patients with rheumatic heart disease, admitted from 1970 to 1990, were analysed. The overall mortality was 31.75% in this group of patients. Single factor analysis indicated that cardiac functional classification, time of death, month of death, cardiothoracic ratio, valvular lesions, cardiogenic shock, digitalis-induced arrhythmias, intercurrent pneumonia, pleurorrhea, and hypotension were related to the overall mortality and cardiac death. Multiple factor logistic analysis indicated that for the overall mortality, the independent prognostic factors included presence of cardiac functional classification, cardiothoracic ratio and cardiogenic shock; for cardiac death, the independent factors included cardiac functional classification, cardiothoracic ratio, cardiogenic shock, digitalis-induced arrhythmias and valvular lesions. The data analysis showed that these five factors were contributory to rheumatic heart disease with synergism.

Two cases of intrapulmonally located non-Hodgkin lymphoma, originally subjected to stationary treatment under the suspicion of pleurapneumonia with pleurorrhea, are presented herein with the goal to show that no-Hodgkin lymphoma should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of pleuropneumonia. About 90% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas are accompanied by intrathoracical pathology at the time of diagnosis. The involvement of pleura as an affected organ stands at the third position in the rank order of frequencies. One fourth of all intrathoracical non-Hodgkin lymphomas are characterized by mediastinal and hilar lymph node invasion. There is no x-ray analysis of pulmonal non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Since non-Hodgkin lymphomas distribute hilifugally, investigators tend to misinterpret this syndrome as pneumonia, interstitial edema or bronchial carcinoma.
