  • Title: [Misdiagnosis of asthma. Two paradigmatic case reports].
    Author: Novello A, Talenti E, Barbato A.
    Journal: Minerva Pediatr; 1994 Mar; 46(3):113-6. PubMed ID: 8035757.
    Abstract:
    We present two children, respectively five and six years old, misdiagnosed and treated as asthmatics in allergological centers. After admission to our department, endobronchial inflammatory pseudotumor and lung tuberculosis were diagnosed respectively. While endobronchial pseudotumor is rather rare, lung tuberculosis is a less rare diagnosis that must be considered in patients with a history of persistent and recurrent coughing with or without wheezing, especially when there is no family history of atopical diseases and skin allergic tests are negative, and the social and economic conditions at risk.
