    BackgroundIdentifying risk factors for poor outcomes can help with risk stratification and targeting of treatment. Risk factors for mortality and exacerbations have been identified in bronchiectasis but have been almost exclusively studied in European and North American populations. This study investigated the risk factors for poor outcome in a large population of bronchiectasis patients enrolled in India.MethodsThe European Multicentre Bronchiectasis Audit and Research Collaboration (EMBARC) and Respiratory Research Network of India (EMBARC-India) registry is a prospective observational study of adults with computed tomography-confirmed bronchiectasis enrolled at 31 sites across India. Baseline characteristics of patients were used to investigate associations with key clinical outcomes: mortality, severe exacerbations requiring hospital admission, overall exacerbation frequency and decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 s.Results1018 patients with at least 12-month follow-up data were enrolled in the follow-up study. Frequent exacerbations (≥3 per year) at baseline were associated with an increased risk of mortality (hazard ratio (HR) 3.23, 95% CI 1.39–7.50), severe exacerbations (HR 2.71, 95% CI 1.92–3.83), future exacerbations (incidence rate ratio (IRR) 3.08, 95% CI 2.36–4.01) and lung function decline. Coexisting COPD, dyspnoea and current cigarette smoking were similarly associated with a worse outcome across all end-points studied. Additional predictors of mortality and severe exacerbations were increasing age and cardiovascular comorbidity. Infection with Gram-negative pathogens (predominantlyKlebsiella pneumoniae) was independently associated with increased mortality (HR 3.13, 95% CI 1.62–6.06), whilePseudomonas aeruginosainfection was associated with severe exacerbations (HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.01–1.97) and overall exacerbation rate (IRR 1.47, 95% CI 1.13–1.91).ConclusionsThis study identifies risk factors for morbidity and mortality among bronchiectasis patients in India. Identification of these risk factors may support treatment approaches optimised to an Asian setting.

    BACKGROUND: Bronchiectasis is a common but neglected chronic lung disease. Most epidemiological data are limited to cohorts from Europe and the USA, with few data from low-income and middle-income countries. We therefore aimed to describe the characteristics, severity of disease, microbiology, and treatment of patients with bronchiectasis in India. METHODS: The Indian bronchiectasis registry is a multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study. Adult patients (≥18 years) with CT-confirmed bronchiectasis were enrolled from 31 centres across India. Patients with bronchiectasis due to cystic fibrosis or traction bronchiectasis associated with another respiratory disorder were excluded. Data were collected at baseline (recruitment) with follow-up visits taking place once per year. Comprehensive clinical data were collected through the European Multicentre Bronchiectasis Audit and Research Collaboration registry platform. Underlying aetiology of bronchiectasis, as well as treatment and risk factors for bronchiectasis were analysed in the Indian bronchiectasis registry. Comparisons of demographics were made with published European and US registries, and quality of care was benchmarked against the 2017 European Respiratory Society guidelines. FINDINGS: From June 1, 2015, to Sept 1, 2017, 2195 patients were enrolled. Marked differences were observed between India, Europe, and the USA. Patients in India were younger (median age 56 years [IQR 41-66] vs the European and US registries; p<0·0001]) and more likely to be men (1249 [56·9%] of 2195). Previous tuberculosis (780 [35·5%] of 2195) was the most frequent underlying cause of bronchiectasis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common organism in sputum culture (301 [13·7%]) in India. Risk factors for exacerbations included being of the male sex (adjusted incidence rate ratio 1·17, 95% CI 1·03-1·32; p=0·015), P aeruginosa infection (1·29, 1·10-1·50; p=0·001), a history of pulmonary tuberculosis (1·20, 1·07-1·34; p=0·002), modified Medical Research Council Dyspnoea score (1·32, 1·25-1·39; p<0·0001), daily sputum production (1·16, 1·03-1·30; p=0·013), and radiological severity of disease (1·03, 1·01-1·04; p<0·0001). Low adherence to guideline-recommended care was observed; only 388 patients were tested for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and 82 patients had been tested for immunoglobulins. INTERPRETATION: Patients with bronchiectasis in India have more severe disease and have distinct characteristics from those reported in other countries. This study provides a benchmark to improve quality of care for patients with bronchiectasis in India. FUNDING: EU/European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations Innovative Medicines Initiative inhaled Antibiotics in Bronchiectasis and Cystic Fibrosis Consortium, European Respiratory Society, and the British Lung Foundation.
  • Demographic, clinical, biochemical, radiological and etiological characteristics of malignant pleural effusions from Eastern India
    K Saha, MK Maikap, A Maji, M Moitra, D Jash
    Indian Journal of Cancer, 2017
    CONTEXT There are very limited data regarding clinical, radiological and etiological aspects of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) from Eastern India. AIMS To review natural history, clinical features, radiological features and etiology of MPEs. SETTING AND DESIGN Hospital based cross-sectional descriptive study. MATERIALS AND METHODS We had reviewed166 diagnosed cases of MPEsregarding demography; clinical, radiological and biochemical characteristics, diagnostic modalities and etiologies. RESULTS Out of 166 patients, 72.89% were males and 27.11% were females. Mean age of presentation among males was 64.3 ± 12.7 and among females was 52.5 ± 14.8. Most common presenting symptom was dry cough (87.9%) and most common presenting sign was clubbing (54.5%). Massive effusion was found in 45.78% of cases. Pleural fluid macroscopic appearance was haemorrhagic in 54.82% of cases. Mean adenosine deaminase activity in MPE was 24.05 U/L. Mean pleural fluid/serum protein ratio was 0.65, mean pleural fluid/serum lactate dehydrogenase ratio was 1.01. Most of the cases (84.94%) were diagnosed by pleural fluid cytology for malignant cells. Primary cancer was diagnosed in 136 (81.93%) cases; among which 121 (88.97%) cases were lung cancers, among which adenocarcinoma (52.89%) was the most common histology. CONCLUSIONS Pleural fluid cytologies for malignant cells are usually sufficient to diagnose MPE in nearly 85% of cases and in remaining cases if thoracoscopyis not available, blind pleural biopsy can be helpful. The most common primary in cases of MPE is lung cancer with adenocarcinoma being the commonest culprit.
  • Mandibular metastasis with pulmonary cannon balls: Presentation of follicular carcinoma thyroid
    Kaushik Saha, Debraj Jash, Arnab Maji
    Medical Journal of Dr D Y Patil University, 2016
    Swelling of the jaw due to metastatic lesions needs careful search for an occult malignancy. Thyroid carcinoma is a rare cause of jaw bone metastasis. A 70-year-old female presented in our chest clinic with progressive shortness of breath for last 1-month and associated painful swelled right jaw for last 4 months. Her computed tomography scan thorax showed bilateral cannon ball metastasis involving all lobes of the lung. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from radiographically evident osteolytic lesion of the mandible was suggestive of metastatic carcinoma probably of thyroid origin. Ultrasonography of the thyroid gland revealed well-defined hypoechoic nodule (measuring about 2 cm × 1.8 cm) with few foci of calcification. FNAC from the thyroid nodule followed by immunocytochemistry was suggestive of follicular carcinoma of the thyroid. We report a very rare presentation, as jaw metastasis in follicular carcinoma of the thyroid.

  • Atypical Nonne-Milroy syndrome: Complicated with chylous effusion
    Kaushik Saha, Mrinmoy Mitra, Arnab Saha, Arnab Roy, Pratik Barma, RupamKumar Ta
    Medical Journal of Dr D Y Patil University, 2014
    Nonne-Milroy syndrome is a rare primary lymphedema characterized by firm non-pitting edema of the lower extremities of the whole leg or may be limited to the feet or toes since birth or infancy. We are reporting a 51-year-old male who presented with dry cough for the previous 7 months and dyspnea for the previous 4 months due to bilateral chylous effusion and that was associated with firm edema of the lower extremities, was waxing and waning since birth. Duplex ultrasound of the lower limbs showed patent blood vessels. Lymphoscintigraphy demonstrated aplasia of the lymphatics in both lower limbs. The patient was diagnosed as primary lymphedema or Nonne-Milroy syndrome after excluding other congenital causes of primary edema. He was treated by bilateral pleurodesis with tetracycline for his chylous effusion and no recurrence was observed after 1 year of follow-up.

    Kaushik Saha, Arnab Saha, Mrinmoy Mitra, Prabodh Panchadhyayee
    Lung India, 2014
    Rhupus syndrome is a rare syndrome characterized by overlap of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Our patient was a diagnosed case of RA and developed SLE 2 years after. She was a middle-aged woman, presented with bilateral pleural effusion with exacerbation of skin and joint symptoms of SLE. We diagnosed the case as tubercular pleural effusion by positive Mycobacterium tuberculosis in bactec 460 culture. She had also anti-phospholipid antibody positivity without any symptoms and signs of thrombosis.

  • Non-resolving pneumonia: A rare presentation of progressive disseminated histoplasmosis
    Kaushik Saha, Supriya Sarkar, Arnab Maji, Abhijit Kundu
    Lung India, 2014
    Histoplasmosis, a fungal disease caused by Histoplasma capsulatum, is endemic in North and South America. Except few scattered cases, the disease is considered to be a non-entity in India. Furthermore, disseminated histoplasmosis is rare in the immunocompetent individuals. We report an adolescent boy presenting as middle lobe consolidation which did not respond to antibiotics. His condition deteriorated with the development of mediastinal lymphadenopathy, pleural effusion and hepatosplenomegaly. A diagnosis of progressive disseminated histoplasmosis was established by his clinical findings as well as bronchoscopic biopsy, transbronchial needle aspiration cytology and bronchoalveolar lavage culture demonstrating Histoplasma capsulatum. The case represents a unique example of progressive disseminated histoplasmosis in an immunocompetent individual in India.
  • Aggressive angiomyxoma of greater omentum with pleural effusion in a young male
    Kaushik Saha, Supriya Sarkar, Debraj Jash, Sajib Chatterjee, AsisKumar Saha
    Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics, 2014
    Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare, locally aggressive, myxoid mesenchymal neoplasm, preferentially arising in the pelvic and perineal regions of young adult females. It may also occur in males, in the inguinoscrotal area. Here we report a case of a young male, who presented with a firm, diffuse, nontender swelling in the abdomen and right-sided pleural effusion. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen showed the presence of a large, cystic mass, almost filling the entire abdominal cavity. On laparotomy, a huge mass, approximately 25 cm × 20 cm × 4 cm in size, arising from the greater omentum, with increased vascularity, and occupying the entire abdomen, was excised. Histopathological examination along with immunohistochemistry established the diagnosis of an aggressive angiomyxoma. Here, we report the case of an aggressive angiomyxoma, originating from the greater omentum, in a young male, associated with right-sided pleural effusion.
