We report the case of an intensive care unit patient with acute respiratory failure caused by severe community-acquired pneumonia with empyema. She required orotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Following extubation the patient s condition improved until the onset of several choking episodes caused by a dislodged laryngotracheal cast in the subglottic region. We discuss the differential diagnosis of upper airway obstructions and of the entities related to bronchial cast formation, in particular the clinical and pathophysiological features of plastic bronchitis and the treatment options available.

We present two cases of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia in two women of a seventy-seven and sixty-five years old. We revised the clinical and radiologic features, and their pathogenesis. It is necessary to recognize in a precocious time this entity and the utility of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in the diagnostic, for to begin a treatment with corticosteroids.

Se presentan dos casos de neumonía eosinófila crónica en dos mujeres de 77 y 65 años. Se revisan sus características clínicas y radiológicas, así como su patogenia. Se destaca la necesidad de reconocer precozmente esta entidad así como se resalta la utilidad del lavado broncoalveolar en el diagnóstico con el fin de instaurar un tratamiento adecuado con esteroides (AU)
