🔹 How to Use AC Safely for Lung Health

✅ Keep AC filters cleaned/changed regularly.
✅ Maintain room humidity (40–60%) with a humidifier if needed.
✅ Avoid sitting directly under cold air draft.
✅ Step gradually from hot outdoor air into AC room (not sudden).
✅ For asthmatics/COPD patients – set AC at 24–26°C, not very low.

🩺 Diagnostic Dilemma – Deadly Combo?

58 y/o Female – 1 month history
• 🌡️ Fever
• 💨 Dry cough (occasional scant sputum)
• ⚖️ Loss of appetite & weight loss
• 🫁 Left-sided chest pain

🩻 Clinical Impression: Presumptive Tuberculosis

🔬 Key Investigations
• Radiology → Features of TB
• Bronchoscopy → Thick purulent secretions
• BAL Xpert → MTB detected (Rif resistance indeterminate)
• BAL Culture → Heavy growth of Pseudomonas
• BAL Cytology → Negative for malignancy
• Pleural Fluid → Exudative, high ADA, lymphocytic, atypical cells
• Pleural Fluid Cell Block → Awaited
• Other microbiome work-up → Negative

📌 Differential Diagnosis

1️⃣ Pulmonary & Pleural TB
• Strongly supported (MTB + high ADA)
• Rif indeterminate → repeat DST needed

2️⃣ TB + Superadded Pseudomonas
• Heavy growth + purulent BAL secretions → significant infection

3️⃣ Malignancy (Lung CA with effusion)
• Atypical PF cells + systemic features
• Still possible, despite strong TB evidence

4️⃣ Dual Pathology (TB + CA)
• Always consider in this age group
• TB & malignancy can coexist

✅ Take-Home Message
• Most likely: Pulmonary + Pleural TB
• Also possible: TB + Pseudomonas pneumonia
• Cannot rule out: Malignancy / Dual pathology

👉 Awaiting Pleural Fluid Cell Block for the final clue.

⚡ Classic case of overlapping infections + possible malignancy — a true diagnostic dilemma!

🌧️ Top Tips for Asthma Patients in the Rainy Season

1️⃣ Keep Your Inhalers Close

Always carry your reliever inhaler (e.g., salbutamol)
Continue your preventer inhaler (steroid) even if you’re symptom-free.

⸻

2️⃣ Avoid Damp and Moldy Spaces

Rain increases moisture, leading to mold and dust mites, major asthma triggers.
✔️ Use exhaust fans, keep windows open for ventilation, and avoid closed, musty rooms.

⸻

3️⃣ Wear a Mask Outdoors

Cool, moist air can trigger bronchospasm. A mask acts as a barrier, especially in early mornings or while riding two-wheelers.

⸻

4️⃣ Stay Warm & Dry

Change out of wet clothes immediately.
Avoid getting drenched — cold exposure can trigger flare-ups.

⸻

5️⃣ Avoid Strong Smells & Indoor Pollutants

Stay away from incense sticks, mosquito coils, cleaning sprays, and perfumes, especially in poorly ventilated areas.

⸻

6️⃣ Limit Outdoor Activities in High Humidity

Exercise indoors during rainy, humid days.
Pollen and pollution may also spike just after rainfall.

⸻

7️⃣ Stay Updated on Vaccinations

Get your flu vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine — respiratory infections worsen asthma.

⸻

8️⃣ Watch for Early Symptoms

🛑 Increased coughing, chest tightness, or night-time wheezing = See your doctor early.
